We are active in keeping on the pulse of a constantly changing industry, which has led to the creation of our sister companies; NMC, Omerch, AMF Music, NMC Live and Graphite Records (operating in artist management, merchandise, publishing, live booking and record releasing respectively). Enabling Northern Music Group to remain at the forefront of the rock and metal industries, activating and expanding its wide knowledge base and expertise.
Andy Farrow, who began his involvement in the music business in the early 80’s by running punk co-operative label Apathy Products, formed Northern Music Co. in 1988. Andy promoted Crass in a benefit gig to get Apathy going, inspired by the Punk attitude of anything is possible – DIY. After a stint running AMF music (promoting gigs, running rehearsal rooms and booking bands) he eventually merged with Far North Music and soon became a management powerhouse in the North of England with a knowledge that spread across all aspects of the business and an understanding of the artist. Six acts were signed to a variety of major and independent labels and the company acted as scouts for eight record labels. Andy and the team continue to utlise their extensive experience and knowledge to react to the ever-changing nature of the industry.
