The Inaugural Fiver PR Person of the Year Award 2003

18th Sept 2003

"Dear Fiver," writes Charlie Light, founder of Seldom Records. "I run this very small label and am attempting to inject some life into the manufactured, image-obsessed music industry. As you can imagine getting any sort of promotion is nigh on impossible unless you're some kind of Adonis."

Or the Fiver, of course. Eh? Oh. So what rock n' roll hedonistic goodness has Chris supplied to entice us into giving him a mention? Enough Colombian marching powder to supply the whole of Farc, perhaps? A signed photo of Peter Brame? Er, no. "A hand-numbered (by yours truly) 0259/1000 five-track CD sampler!" In fairness, it's actually pretty good, even if the last song does go on for 9 minutes and 52 seconds.
