	Alan McGee Information
		Alan McGee is a British music industry mogul famed for founding the independent Creation Records label which ran from 1983 to 2000.
		For all their artistic health however, these records were not huge commercial hits and, with McGee’s escalating drug use Creation had run up considerable debt that was only held off until he sold half the company to Sony Music in 1992.
		This brought previously unimaginable exposure to McGee, whose position was noted by the revitalised Labour Party that considered him a revolutionary figure of youth culture and courted his influence to spearhead a media campaign prior to the 1997 General Election.

	TWE, Alan McGee and Tim Burgess — i4SM
		In a scenario where you have Alan McGee, former boss of Creation Records and Tim Burgess of The Charlatans, plus around 60 of the assembled ‘talent’ at TWE it would seem to be a pretty could forum to open dialogue between experience and those seeking advice.
		But, for me, this was a missed opportunity. Let’s face it, there’s a lot to talk about where and how the media industry, particularly recording artists, is going and in what kind of shape it could be in, in the future.
		McGee is right though, it’s OK to do this once you are famous as the buying public will lap it up and you have opportunities to generate revenue elsewhere.
