I was a drummer, learning my trade in the Boys Brigade, playing for the school band and then went on to play in several really good pub bands, the last one called “One Night”, which actually lasted about 4 years from memory and had a following of around 200 people at the end. So read on and let’s see where this takes us… Music & Meįor me music has always been in my life. What’s this all got to do with business? Well it is all about influence, and especially the power of subconscious influence through music, and as de Novo Solutions is all about the experience economy, there is simply no better experience than great music! It also saw the greatest live performance of any band of any era in Queen, and frankly 17 minutes that became the stuff of legends and made music history. The ultimate text-book example of political activism, which saw the creation of Band Aid and the charity single “Do they know it’s Christmas?” and then followed up by putting on the greatest pop concert ever in Live Aid on 13th July 1985, literally screaming at all of us from royalty, politicians and to the person in the street to give money to save lives. Geldof did it by getting all our attention through music. A decade that saw Sir Bob Geldof telling us all to get a “f**king grip’’ while he woke up the world to see 8 million people affected by famine with over 1 million dying in Ethiopia.

Advanced warning, this one’s for those that remember the 1980’s, whose misspent teenage years were spent listening to great music on vinyl and cassettes the era of VHS video players going to nightclubs midweek as you could get in with free vouchers, memories of the girls with big hair and smoking 10 B&H weekend jobs at McDonalds lunchtime drinking at work and an era where Ford XR2’s and VW Golfs ruled. This blog is definitely one from left field and is possibly my only forage into music journalism with a subject matter that is also political in nature.
