Simon's testimonial for Dan
From Dan Parkinson;
Simon Gallup - The Cure
Hello, Simon Here.
I am a full time bass player for The Cure.
I first heard of Dan through a stroke of luck, I was driving and for some reason Andover local radio came on and Dan had an advertisement on, since I had recently had a bass painted (by coincidence by his friend Caitlin Pearce) I needed the bass set up and along with another couple of basses I headed over to his studio
The first thing that struck me was while I was waiting at the door I heard him playing guitar and noticed his fluidity and skill which made me realise this was someone who knew about guitars and basses, the second thing that struck me was his warmth, friendliness and enthusiasm. I left the instruments with him just expecting a normal set up, service but by watching instagram I saw he was going way beyond that and it was almost like a complete rebuild !!
I picked the basses up and they played superbly (easier to play, intonation perfect and pick up height just spot on) in fact in all the time I've been a professional bassist I've never had such a good set up
In summary ,I cannot recommend Dan highly enough, he is professional, friendly and takes this side of his many talents completely seriously and would advise anybody thats looking for a similar kind of service to go to Dan
Cheers

Robert to be honored at Artist & Manager Awards
From Music Week:
Robert Smith is this year’s winner of the Fan Champion Award, which recognises an individual who has used their platform to both protect their audience and drive positive change.
The Cure frontman has been outspoken on the need for fairer and more transparent ticketing practices.
He has also backed the advocacy of the FanFair Alliance campaign, established by the Music Managers Forum in 2016, and joined calls to the UK government to deliver on a manifesto promise to ban ticket touting and introduce a cap on ticket resale prices.
“These interventions on behalf of consumers have not only helped raise awareness and kickstart positive dialogue around ticketing, they have demonstrated to other artists that they too can use their agency and influence to improve industry practices,” said a statement.
“Robert’s plainspeaking approach has been a welcome antidote to the controversies that continue to swirl around ticketing and live music – not only successfully standing up for The Cure’s fanbase, but actively changing business practices in the process. His stand against online ticket touting and support of the FanFair Alliance campaign has also been exemplary. We are so pleased to present him with our Fan Champion award.
