This May, The Tung Auditorium present Before Oasis: In Conversation with Marcus Russell – a rare opportunity to hear the story of how one of the UK’s most successful artist managers came to work with Oasis, the definitive act of Britpop.
Along with Dr Mike Jones from the University of Liverpool’s Department of Music – a lifelong friend of Russell’s – they will reflect on memories of Russell’s formative music industry experiences as a young gig promoter. The story begins in his hometown of Ebbw Vale in South Wales, eventually leading to his management of Jones’s band Latin Quarter, which became a springboard to a 40-year career.
The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
