Our Friends from the Mother Country....

Marc Connor, a manager we know through his helming of Jamie Cullum, stopped by to visit with some of his staff. Connor owns and runs a terrific London-based company, Air MTM - media: touring: management - a combination pr, booking and management agency that's so simpatico with Shore Fire. Over Friday pizza, we traded war stories, shared tips and compared notes on how to find new staff. That's Connor second from right, next to Shore Fire's Nick Baily, along with three of his team in town for the International Association of Jazz Educators conference.
