Who Are We?
Email Adrian	Adrian Leigh MD Leyline Publicity Adrian has been working in the music industry for the past 20 years (you'd never guess!) serving apprenticeships in artist, stage, venue, tour and label management as well as press, PR and promotions. In August 2001 Ade created Leyline as a one stop creative marketing and promotions agency. The aim was to be an effective bridge between art and commerce sourcing new talent, delivering dynamic and imaginative events and developing effective media strategies. Being an adrenalin fuelled music junky helped in the formative years as Adrian squeezed minimal sleep into transforming XFM's specialist radio shows into successful club platforms such as The Remix with Eddy Temple Morris (now in its tenth year), alongside legendary club nights such as Kill All Hippies with Jagz Kooner and HUM with Rennie Pilgrem and Meat Katie. In recent years Ade has focused his time on developing Leyline into a formidable online marketing and PR agency but still makes time to follow his first passion... talent!
Email Nick	Nick Bateson Head of Press Nick has been in the industry for the past five years having worked on a broad range of campaigns from A-HA, Hervé and Lisa Moorish right through to The Glade Festival, Fat Freddys Drop and The Holloways to name a few. A self confessed music addict Nick also plays guitar in a London based Jazz collective and has recorded with The Crimea, Subfocus and Roni Size. In his spare time he can be found frequenting jazz clubs in the seedy underbelly of London. He also writes for Virtual Festival's and has appeared as an actor on the Channel 4 series Teachers. Nick doesn't sleep - he waits...
Email Ben	Ben Mercer Head of Social Media Ben is head of On-line Marketing and Social Media. With a background in Music Technology, Record Labels and Office Admin, this musician and self proclaimed comedian is the newest member of the Leyline team. Maintaining, updating and promoting through online social media (MySpace, Facebook etc) he creates a unique style of dialogue for the different events, cultivating a relationship with the various attendees of the nights that Leyline is involved with. No stranger to the language of HTML he creates Press Releases, Newsletters, Bulletins and Messages and also promotes through web based forums and flyering. He also makes an excellent Egg Fried Rice which I'm sure he'll be happy to show you when asked... nicely.
