Tony Keys Finance Director Tony spent his working career in the city, latterly as finance director of
a number of specialist insurance businesses. Music has however always been a vital
passion, from playing piano in R & B and jazz outfits at university and shortly
after, to the now more passive pleasure of listening to the music of the 60s and
70s.
Mat SnowEditorial Consultant
Cutting his teeth as a writer for New Musical Express in the 80s, Mat moved
on to Q Magazine before editing Mojo between 1995 and 1999, and
then editing the UK’s biggest selling soccer monthly, FourFourTwo, until
2004. In 1987 he was immortalised by Nick Cave in the song 'Scum'… every
word of which about Mat is true.
