A stint in club promotion at the birth of Britpop saw him hook up with legendary Mark Morrison manager johnny laws before branching out on his own.  Just some of the artists whose careers David has overseen include The libertines, Tom Grennan, Killing Joke, The enemy, Charli XCX, Ashnikko, Barnes Courtney – the list goes on and on… This was a fun chat, so sit back and enjoy this episode of ‘My Beautiful Mistakes’ ….
