No Rock And Roll Fun

THE EMPIRE SPREADS: The Mean Fiddler are continuing their policy of by-passing innovation and just using their big warchest to buy into existing events by taking a stake in the Bizarre Festival in Germany, reports nme.com - this is the first major investment in Europe outside the UK for the organisation. Meanwhile, and almost unnoticed (certainly by us), the group took a step closer to becoming the UK's own Clear Channel by making a first move into Radio Ownership by buying Ritz 1035, London's Country station. We don't expect this will be the last time they feel the joy of cross-promotional media purchasing.
