Simon has worn many different hats in his career. In the 1980s he was co-founder and editor of the international style and culture magazine BLITZ. In the 1990s, he was co-founder of a business publishing company specialising in the magazine industry. That first brought him to the South West, because a little specialist publisher in Bath called Future was one of his biggest clients. In the 2000s he launched and ran the advertising industry information portal Adbrands.net. More recently, in 2022, with his wife and long-time business partner he bought and restored the beautiful Grade 1 listed Georgian townhouse Parade House in Trowbridge, which they now operate as a luxury events venue. But throughout that 45-year career, music has always been one of Simon's greatest passions, and now he'd like to share some of that lifelong obsession with you.
