The four students who study Media and Communication
at Birmingham City University have set up a music management firm, Solitude
Management, for their final year project.
Kieron McCarthy, Brett Wallington, Olatain Ola-said
and Tom Bower have signed a number of bands from around the UK, and to
celebrate, the company have embarked on a rock tour to showcase their acts to
the public.
The tour started on Wednesday, and the 362 mile
round trip will take the foursome and the bands to Basingstoke, Bristol, Pontypool
and finally ending in our city, Birmingham, tomorrow evening.
The gig this Saturday takes place at The Asylum
Venue in the city centre, where local band Sexwolf! will be performing under
their new management. The team are also booking agents for band Hallencourt,
who will also be performing on the night.
Tom stated, “Most of the students on our course are
putting on one or two gigs in Birmingham for their projects. However having
already done similar events in previous years at University, we decided to
really push ourselves and hit the road.”
Commenting on how they’d thrown themselves in at the
deep end, Brett said, “This will be a completely new experience for all of us,
and I’m sure we will learn lots from it.”
A second tour around the Midlands is currently being
planned by Solitude Management.
