Stereophonics
I first met Kelly Jones, Stuart Cable and Richard Jones, collectively known then as Tragic Love Company and later Stereophonics in the mid 90’s.

My dad discovered them at a small show in Wales and immediately signed them to his management company, Marsupial Management, which at the time, I was a company director of.

The first video I worked on was Pick A Part That’s New in 1998. I carried their guitars back and forth to the set and handed them to them.

In 1999, I filmed a lot of behind-the-scenes videos, including their shows at Wembley Stadium and Morfa Stadium.

In 2000, I was present at Hook End Manor Studios when they recorded their song with Tom Jones, Mamma Told Me Not To Come.

Also that year, I went to the Have A Nice Day video shoot in London. Whilst I didn’t actually work on the video itself, I learned a lot about filmmaking that day.

In 2001, I went on a brief tour with them. I travelled up to Scotland for their headline show at T In The Park. The following day, U2 sent a private plane for us to pick up at Edinburgh, to fly us over to Europe for some of the support shows there.

I have countless cool memories of hanging out with Stereophonics and filming behind-the-scenes bits for them during that time period.
