Alan McGee is most notably known for founding the music label, Creation Records (1983-2000) where he signed and managed such huge acts as The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and The Libertines. However, his best known success story is Oasis, who he signed to Creation in the 1990’s.

After the closure of Creation Records, Alan immediately founded a new label called Poptones who have had success with the Hives, the Charlatans and Dirty Pretty Things. All these acts are also managed by Alan McGee Management. He also runs an international club night called Death Disco which has residencies in New York, Budapest and Los Angeles, and travels Europe with his close friend and musical client Tim Burgess of The Charlatans on DJ tours every year.

The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance was excited to host this event and was pleased to see a large turn out to one of the music industry’s most influential manager. We look forward to having Alan again and all appreciate him sharing the tips and knowledge he has gained from his experiences.
