In July 1999 Bob Paterson and Steve Fernie set up a live music booking agency - working from and with eastcentralone record company.
Kate Jacobs embarked on a successful solo trip in October 1999 and returned in September 2000 with her 5 month old baby, playing to a bigger audience (aided by appearances on BBC Radio 2 Johnnie Walker Show and Radio 4 Woman's Hour); Dr Robert went out on the road acoustically in November 1999 and May 2000. He returned with his band in May and June 2001 to promote his new record "Birds Gotta Fly". Colin Vearncombe was on the road in April 2000 for the first time in 7 years and toured again in October 2000.
The agency has grown since those early days and has started to represent artists outside of the label, not only for representation in the UK but for the whole of Europe.
