All About Promotions - All About Us

Amanda Beel
amanda@allaboutpromo.com
Amanda has an extensive career in music promotion, having worked in the business for over 20 years. She joined Sony (Columbia Records) as head of Radio Promotions for 9 years, in which time she looked after a range of artists including Mariah Carey, The Fugees, Kula Shaker, Bruce Springsteen, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Manic Street Preachers, and Jeff Buckley. She then went Freelance in 1996 and set up partnership with Niki Sanderson for two years before forming Absolute Promotions with Stuart Emery for a further 5 years promoting the likes of Robert Plant, Jeff Beck, Mint Royale, Tim Burgess, Tori Amos, and Soulwax. As proprietor of All About Promotions, Amanda continues to work with a diverse roster and has promoted Katie Melua, Ray Lamontagne, Public Enemy, Panic! At the Disco, Enter Shikari, and Tom Waits amongst many others.


	I’d honestly say that if every PR team worked as hard as All About the music charts might be a more interesting place. Amanda and her colleagues truly understand and love their artists. This makes their lives and the lives of journalists working with them so much easier!

She then left to complete a BA degree in Communication, Media, and Popular Music at University of Liverpool and soon after graduating, Lindsay worked as an Agent's assistant at Helter Skelter for a year and a half before moving into radio and TV promotions at the start of Autumn 2007. Having experienced the live circuit and working with a variety of artists including Faithless, Kaiser Chiefs, and The Dykeenies, Lindsay is now keen to help break new bands and artists she believes should be heard nationwide through the medium of radio and television.

Joe Mallott

Joe joined the team back in March 2007. Leaving university more moons ago than his physical appearance reflects, he flirted with working in the city until his senses grabbed hold of him and followed his passion for the music industry. After working at Ninja Tunes to help promote bands, Joe worked for Remedy Productions (E4 Music, Freshly Squeezed, etc) and helped film the NME Rock and Rave Tours with the likes of The Klaxons, CSS and The View. Now at All About, Joe is the company's Abba-to-Zappa fan, not liking his taste to be pigeonholed but simply classing his favourite music as "good music".

Freddy Mason

Freddy joined the team as work experience, and it went so well they employed him full time! Not even knowing what a plugger was before he started, he now works hard to get some great music out there whilst securing important contacts at the same time. Freddy comes from a logistics / IT background having worked for some top companies over the last 7 years. He loves soul music, and recently obtained a first degree in Music Technology BSc Hons.
