The story so far...
"We've come a long way since starting out in 1989, operating out of the spare bedroom of a fourth floor flat with event kit stacked up on every available bit of floor space...."
With no idea of how to run a business, a naïve enthusiasm more than compensated for any lack of acumen. In those early days we made lots of mistakes and had one or two successes, but it has always been great fun and hugely rewarding.
