Page 2............. This second page lists, and it is done in no particular oder, some of those artists that I recall that I have had the pleasure to have association with. As there are so many over the years I will not attempt to detail what my association was with each name as this could involve writing dozens of pages, that said a word or two of description may appear.
The Foundations [Colic Young era] managed. Serendipity managed. Ya Ya managed
Opal Butterfly managed. Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons promoted brilliant live artist.
Scott McKenzie promoted, launch of the flower power erxa, I remember giving out flowers
in piccadilly circus. David Soul promoted. Andy Williams promoted. Rick Astley and T'Pau,
I give these then unknown artists their first television airing on The Royal Charity Concert at The Royal Albert HallI that I produced for television, both artists within weeks having number one records!!! John Holt promoted, great reggae artist. Gordon Giltrap promoted this unlikely single chart artist to single chart success and album success. John Williams promoted this
great classical guitarist but unlikely single chart artist to single chart success. The Kankies promoted this unlikely single chart comedy duo to single chart success. Marvin Gaye promoted. Glen Campbell promoted. The Marmalade promoted, fun footnote working at CBS Records London at the time and producing records I had theCBS studios booked for the weekend starting Friday night, Mike Smith main CBS producer asked a favour saying he desperately needed the studios could he have them, course I said, the production he wanted to do was done over the weekend, as was records pressed and out in the shops the following Monday, the song........Ob La Di Ob La Da, shortly made it to number one in the charts. The Stylistics, went around as their publsher getting plays here and there and then when having got them into the charts, suddenly [Record Company alike] then started claiming credits.....mmm!!!.
Involved in record promotion for various major record labels for many years it's a long list!!!!
NOVEMBER 2008, HOPEFULLY THE FOLLOWING INFO WILL BE COMPLETED SOON.
I also look to include many of the other 'credits' that I have ranging from television production
through to product promotions, an example of this being The MALIBU World Disco Dancing Championships that saw me both finding MALIBU as sponsor, and to that of bringing it for
television broadcast of Channel 4. Broadcast in the early days of Channel 4 it still ranks as
one of theri 'highest' rated shows, not bad given that most of the country were then unable
to reveive Channel 4.It also helped MALIBU, a new product then, to launch to major success.
November 2008 and the intention is to finish this site off, however I have been really busy on various
projects including that in our recording studios including that for release summer of 2009
a new version of a song that I have writing credits in that previously reached
number 2 in the UK charts, hopefully this time round will get one position higher!
Cheers for the moment...............Bernie Cochrane.
