Before setting up Nine Lives I worked ad-hoc for a variety of organisations, initially mostly music. One of these was the legendary local music venue the Dog and Partridge, which hosts bands from all over the world - groundbreaking stuff indeed for Bolton.
Many of the bands were booked by the husband-wife duo of Ivan and Chelly Crompton, collectively known as Interkonnect.

I did the press - and the following cuttings prove why a good press release is one that can simply be cut and pasted by a journalist when deadline's looming...
