Three’s Company Artists Collective was formed in 2000 by Damien Barber, Maggie Boyle & Fay Hield. The idea was to organise much needed, exciting musical events in Haworth, Keighley areas and to promote traditional music & dance via our acts. To this end, we staged many successful concerts, and we set about the business of being “artist-agents” on behalf of our own, and other, musical projects in the region. Along the way we have had endless support from friends, and much support from funders, in particular Arts Council of England (as it was then), Awards for all, & Bradford Metropolitan District Council.
Three’s Company Music Limited was formed in 2005, mainly due to the need for a more formal company. Business Link West Yorkshire (and in particular our lovely advisor, Helen Mallison) has been incredibly helpful in providing professional consultancies etc and, in order to avail of their services, they needed us to be a properly structured organisation. So we did it!
The original 3 have been joined on the management committee by:
Bill Dinsdale - long-time, long-suffering web-designer/communications geek
Nigel Schofield – media guru, info-junkie (Free Reed mover)
Ken Wood – master chef, strategic ideas advisor
The first 3 are most grateful that the 2nd 3 are willing to give of their time and expertise, and patience, to support the original aims of Three’s Company. 2006 is set to be a special year of development because of Bill, Nigel & Ken’s enthusiasm.
Watch these spaces…there really are some very exciting things soon to be unleashed! You’ll be surprised.
