THE BPI AFTER HOURS If you’re going to run a swanky event at BAFTA, you’ve got to give the delegates a touch of after-party glamour.We saw the likes ofMaggie Crowe (BPI), JeremyMarsh (Warner), DaveWood (BPI) and Tony Wadsworth (BPI) in the bar after the BPI AGM. Elsewhere, in another twist to its 60th year anniversary celebrations, the Official Charts Company inaugurated a new award at the event: PPL’s Fran Nevrkla and outgoing BRIT School chair of governors John Deacon became the first people to be presented with an industry version of the Official Number 1 Award.

FABLED LABELS


Roadrunner Records Founded: 1980 Key Artists: King Diamond,Metallica, Slipknot


Launched in the Netherlands in 1980 and founded by CeesWessels, Roadrunner Records started off business importing North Americanmetal- band recordings into Europe. In 1986, the label opened its first US headquarters in New York City, later


expanding to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, Denmark and Canada. Holding a roster ofmainly popular andmetalcore acts, early successes


included albums fromKing Diamond and Annihilator. The 1990s broughtmainstreamsuccess for several of Roadrunner's


bands as the label continued to grow. In 1993 Sepultura became the first to crack the Top 40 on the Billboard albumchart and in 2000, Slipknot got the label their first Platinumaccolade. In December 2006,WarnerMusic Group purchased amajority share


(73.5%) of Roadrunner Records’ parent company, RoadrunnerMusic Group B.V and 2010 sawWMG acquiring the remaining stock. UMG announced in April 2012 that the UK, Canadian and The


Netherlands offices of Roadrunner are to be closed completely, with severe cutbacks occurring across the rest of the label worldwide.


Did You Know? Amanda Palmer was allegedly told by the label in 2008 that they wanted to re- edit her video (pictured) for Leeds United tomake her look slimmer.
