History of Galaxy Entertainments Ltd

Galaxy Entertainments Ltd was a booking agency back in the 1960’s, handling well known bands such as the Birds, Small Faces, Amen Corner, The Move, Nashville Teens, The Attack, The Dimples and many more artists such as Pink Floyd and Love Affair, who were not signed to Galaxy, but obtained tour work and other gigs via this top agency. Today, you can still find the odd Galaxy Entertainments contract on the internet that have become much sought after memorabilia.

The original owner was Ron King who ran the agency from about 1965 through to about 1968 when it was taken over by Don Arden, the well known Impresario, also known as the Al Capone of Pop. In recent times people may remember him as Sharon Osbourne’s father. Back in the sixties Don managed a number of named artists, including sixties Mod band Small Faces. Many of the artists were also handled by Galaxy Entertainments Ltd who’s key booking staff Sue Rose and Tony Burfield worked in an office on the same floor as Don’s management company based at 52-55 Carnaby Street. In 1967 when the Small Faces left Don Arden’s management, Galaxy moved to 7 Denmark Street in the heart of Tin Pan Alley, just a few doors along from The Move’s management office and Regent Sound recording studio.

WHO WILL WIN A GALAXY IN 2013?

The launch of Galaxy’s TwoEazy Live Music Campaign took place on Thursday 28th February at the AlleyCat Club, Denmark Street, London. Music fans and musicians turned out to show their support for the campaign at the Galaxy Entertains night, which takes place on the last Thursday of each month.

TWOEAZY LIVE MUSIC CAMPAIGN

ATTENTION MUSIC FANS!

TWO EAZY! JUST TWO WAYS TO HELP SUPPORT THE LIVE MUSIC CAMPAIGN

1. Go to at least one gig a week, or even once a month, either at a local venue or small venue, with an audience capacity around 300 or less.

2. Join the campaign and help spread the word by contacting your local paper, radio station or use Twitter to say you are supporting the campaign.

ATTENTION MUSIC PROMOTERS!

TWO EAZY! JUST TWO WAYS TO HELP SUPPORT THE LIVE MUSIC CAMPAIGN

1. Hold a live music event to launch your support for the campaign. You can use the banner we have made, or make your own. Get local musicians and named artists to go along to your event and support what you are doing. Encourage music fans to pay for their tickets or make a donation, with all those proceeds going to the artists performing.

2. Contact your local paper, radio station or use Twitter to say you are supporting the campaign and get more ticket paying music fans on board.

ATTENTION ALL MUSICIANS

TWO EAZY! JUST TWO WAYS TO HELP SUPPORT THE LIVE MUSIC CAMPAIGN

1. Encourage local or small venues you normally perform at to hold events supporting the objectives of the live music campaign. That is, to get more music fans to come out and support the smaller live music events, and pay for their tickets, with all proceeds going to the artists performing.

2. Contact your local paper, radio station or use Twitter to say you are supporting the campaign.

“The campaign would like to point out that we do not object to free entry events that give cash strapped music fans a chance to see live music. All the campaign would like to see is that venues and promoters aren’t embarrassed or forced to hold free events in order to get an audience to go and see live music. We need to move away from a culture where musicians are being forced to pay to play. The minimum an artist should get is their expenses. Ticket prices don’t have to be expensive. Thank you for your support.”

Back by popular demand!

The Broken Chords are a clear favourite with our AlleyCat audiences! The band told us that playing live is the most important thing they do and they have such a passion for performing it is this that sets them aside from many other bands on the live music scene today. Hailing from the Essex/Hertfordshire, bordering north London, this gives them easy access to the many London venues they can be seen playing at. You can often judge the growing popularity of a band by the repeat bookings they get in key venues. And that’s what’s happening with Broken Chords. But they are also very focussed and determined and there is a growing confidence that 2013 will the year this band break through. That’s why Galaxy Entertains are keen to have them back whenever we can so that our audiences get to see and hear them before its too late. They are the cream of the cream. Its always very exciting to see bands like Broken Chords up close and personal in a intimate basement club like the AlleyCat. So come along and experience it for yourselves. You won’t be disappointed.

Galaxy Entertains is privileged to introduce Tank Trap, a four piece blues grunge band from Gravesend, Kent, who are also lined up to perform at our next event on 30th May.

Earlier this year they supported Broken Chords at the Relentless Garage, then Broken Chords reciprocated by supporting Tank Trap at the Poco Loco in Medway last month. We feel its an ideal pairing and along with our regular houseband The Sonic Jewels and their own brand of psychedelic rock, the 30th May is bound to be an explosive night that no music fan should miss!

Of course we are very fortunate to have Tank Trap perform for us as they were recently lucky enough to win a place on the main stage at this years Isle of Wight festival which takes place in June. That is an amazing achievement as they had to compete against 2500 other bands! But we get a feeling this band won’t forget their roots and will relish in performing at the humble AlleyCat Club. All we can say is for goodness sake don’t miss them!
