New music agency launched in UK

A brand new booking agency, Regent Music, has burst onto the scene with an emphasis on both contemporary and traditional music. Regent Music has been launched by Phil Simpson, previously an agent with Adastra, the long-standing and well respected agency based in East Yorkshire. The new project was formed from a total love of the job and a desire to represent & develop acts in the Acoustic/Folk/Roots genres in the UK and overseas.


Regent Music may be a new project, but Phil is by no means a newcomer to the music industry, having previously booked tours for top names such as Lúnasa, Juan Martin, and Colin Hay. Phil has been promoting gigs since the age of 16, and is a musician himself.



Regent Music already boasts a couple of up and coming acts on his books - including the hotly tipped Americana/Pop quintet ahab, and the quirky Folk/World duo The Hut People. 



“There are simply too many outstanding acts yet to be discovered - and certainly many with real potential to become established names on the music scene.”  reports Phil.



Over time, Phil hopes to develop the agency into major brand on the UK music scene. He is looking forward to working with artists and promoters in the UK and abroad, and hopes to further expand the business and also offer other services including programming and consultancy.



With lots of fresh ideas in the pipeline and Phil’s dedication and passion for the job, the future certainly looks promising for Regent Music.
