Before Oasis: In Conversation with Marcus Russell

Before Oasis: In Conversation with Marcus Russell is 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 the Department of Music’s Dr Mike Jones, a lifelong friend, Russell will reflect on memories of his formative music industry experiences as a young gig promoter 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. Promoted by the Department of Music, University of Liverpool through the generous support of Mark Astaire, in memory of his brother, Peter Astaire.
