We had the brilliant Tim Parr in conversation with me on CapeTalk on Thursday, 15th January at 9 pm, chatting about his musical journey.

Tim Parr first came to national prominence in the southern-rock blues band Baxtop, where he shared guitar duties with Larry Amos in the Joburg club scene of 1976. Rising quickly to the top of the national circuit and winning the SABC battle of the bands, they recorded “Work it Out” for Warner Brothers in 1979, which remains an enduring SA classic.

Parr then formed Ella Mental with Heather Mac, which was one of the iconic 80’s bands to have a string of radio hits in South Africa, playing many of the country's top festivals.

The common thread throughout all these projects has been Tim Parr’s expressive and soulful guitar playing, and unlike many guitarists, his rhythm and textural playing is as distinctive as his unmistakable voice.

We spoke to Ryan Vrede this week on the Business of Entertainment on Thurs 21 Dec at 9pm on Cape Talk.

Engaging brilliant and thought provoking do listen please

Ryan Vrede is a journalist that cut his teeth in sport, which continues to form a big part of his professional portfolio.

He joined Habari Media as an intern in 2006, and, under the mentorship of some of the country’s preeminent sports writers, built a career covering rugby and cricket.

Vrede spent 17 years following the Springboks and Proteas, nationally and internationally, before shifting focus to launch a clutch of magazine and digital products.

He later left Habari Media to work as the creative director of a web design company, before returning in 2022, assuming a diverse role that includes overseeing motoring and travel across the company.

He is also part of the team that builds pitches for new business, as well as offering creative direction for existing clients.

Sport, however, remains his first love, with cricket in particular, a passion of his.

His commentary can be found on SA Cricket magazine’s digital platforms, while he can also be found on Twitter/X. (Ryan_Vrede) most likely scrapping with an egg avatar who has irritated him.

To date, acts Marc discovered or managed have notched up 38 Top 10 singles, including 18 #1 singles in the UK charts. 

He has been responsible for over a million album sales in one form or another, including his ten years of direct international responsibility for U2's marketing and sales.

Marc Marot began his professional career in 1982 as the 'Professional Manager' of UK Independent music publisher, Eaton Music ltd, working with film composers George Fenton, Carl Davis and Henry Mancini and pop groups including Status Quo.
He was appointed Managing Director of Chris Blackwell's Blue Mountain Music in 1984, working with U2 and the reggae catalogue.
Marc's publishing signings include, amongst many others, Massive Attack, De La Soul, Julia Fordham, and Shakespeare's Sister (Marcy Levy).
He headed every division of Island until Marc was appointed MD of Island Records in 1990, the youngest MD in the UK music industry at the time.

Amongst the artists signed and developed by his team while at Island Records were:

            • Pulp

         • PJ Harvey

         • The Stereo MCs

         • P.M. Dawn

         • The Cranberries

         • Elbow

         • NWA

         • The Orb

         • Ice Cube

         • Talvin Singh

         • Tricky

         • Nine Inch Nails
During his tenure as Island Records MD, Island artists won the prestigious Mercury Music Record of the Year prize three times and 10 Island short-listed albums. Artists signed during the period have subsequently gone on to win 25% of all the prizes awarded in the 20-year history of the competition.
He guided U2's career throughout the 1990s, from the release of Achtung Baby to just before the release of All You Can't Leave Behind, selling close to 60 million albums.

In 1998 he introduced Bono to the concept of Third World debt relief via his involvement in the 'Jubilee 2000' campaign. He oversaw the 'drop the debt' initiative within the music industry. Bono has thanked him on both the stage of the MTV awards and whilst addressing the UN council chamber in New York.

Sara - Jayne Makwala King profiles Siphokazi Jonas on Weekend Breakfast on Cape Talk, Saturday, 16 September 2023.

Bob Lefsetz, like many major labels I have read comments from on the back of the Universal/Deezer deal, simply do not get or understand the Super Fan model that’s being successfully championed by BandLab. 60 million + subscribers and climbing confirms people love it.

Streaming pays from the very first play, yes at 0.0007 cents, but paid out they will be, if only when they hit a certain number, but that money stays theirs.

Secondly the Super Fan model, under the Deezer/Uni deal rewards active artists who curate and look to foster community with double income (0.0014) or quadruple (0.0028) in certain cases. Yes, it’s not a perfect model, but it puts the power back in the hands of the artists and their fans. 

MEX endorse it.
