I'll Follow You Down




Whatever you think of Alan McGee he did sign some mighty fine bands to Creation Records. What other label had the likes of The Mary Chain, Primal Scream, The Loft, The Weather Prophets, Sugar, Teenage Fanclub and many more. He knew a good band when he saw one. Okay maybe not always but his musical radar was pretty spot on most of the time.

It is well known that McGee liked to party as much as the bands that he looked after and just like New Order he may not be the best example of how to run a business but he has played a vital role in British music over the last 30 odd years and has a very entertaining book out that documents his time in the music industry starting from setting up The Living room in London when only 16.
