Born to the sounds of Donny Osmond's Puppy Love back in '73, Jamie Allen obviously grew up with a somewhat disturbed taste in music (though he promises to have remedied this over the years). Suited and booted he joined a Mahavishnu/Madness soundclash band at 17, before discovering that his lack of rhythm was probably better suited to writing and DJing. Jamie graduated last year from a southcoast Institute with a degree in Cultural Studies, before doing reviews and interviews for local mags.

Managing Director of Business Design Centre

Click Here to enlarge Picture Name : Andrew Morris

Biog
Andrew is a man with a mission - to make London, and London Music Week, the centre of music business deals each year, every year. As the driving force behind this ambitious event, he thrives on a challenge and won't rest until he's reached his goal.

'With the UK historically creating between 20 and 25% of world music consumption, it's incredible that there hasn't been a London Music Week before now. But I suppose all great things are worth waiting for! ' enthuses Morris from his penthouse office above the impressive venue for LMW, the Business Design Centre. At 45, he is a product of the sixties but with three teenage children, and a youthful attitude to life, his thinking is pure 1998.

He has been called a marketing guru, entrepreneur, control freak and egomaniac, but not, as he puts it, all at the same time or by the same person. One thing's for sure; once he makes up his mind, he has the commitment and resources to get the job done. London Music Week is yet another fine example of this true Brit's grit.
