Mark Sampson’s Summary
I run an independent record label called Iron Man Records, which is based in Birmingham England. The record label has been running since 1996 and in 2000 I set up the Birmingham Music Network which is also known as just The Music Network. I've organised gigs in and around Birmingham since 1994 as Badger Promotions. I play in a band called Last Under The Sun and at present I'm also playing guitar in another band called Police Bastard who have recently re-formed. I do a bit of tour management and driving to help bands out, write and maintain several music related blogs, and recently started to look after a band called The Orb…but only as far as their online activities are concerned. I do some lecturing at Birmingham City University as part of their Music Business degree course and I run a shop on ebay selling all sorts of good alternative music on cd or vinyl. I also enjoy a good game of mental chess with local funding organisations who try and pocket most of the money intended for struggling local musicians and creatives.
