New Acoustic/Folk Promotions Agency Regent Music Launches

The music world has welcomed a brand new soldier to it’s frontlines - Regent Music, a fresh booking agency coming from Phil Simpson, a former agent of Adastra who has a lot of tricks up his sleeves and a lot of hopes for some brand new bands and artists.
Regent Music may be new, but Phil is by no means a newcomer to the music industry, having previously booked tours for top names such as Lúnasa, Juan Martin, and Colin Hay. Phil has been promoting gigs since the age of 16, and is a musician himself. The new company was formed from a total love of the job and a desire to represent and develop acts in the Acoustic/Folk/Roots genres in the UK and overseas.
Regent Music already boasts some brilliant up and coming acts on his books - including the hotly tipped Americana/Pop quintet ahab, the quirky Folk/World duo The Hut People and new Navigator signings The Young’uns. “There are simply too many outstanding acts yet to be discovered - and certainly many with real potential to become established names on the music scene,” reports Phil.
Over time, Phil hopes to develop the agency into major brand on the UK music scene. He is looking forward to working with artists and promoters in the UK and abroad, and hopes to further expand the business and also offer other services including programming and consultancy. With lots of fresh ideas in the pipeline and Phil’s dedication and passion for the job, the future certainly looks promising for Regent Music.
