Rock star Andy Booth (pictured), who also happens to be head of company commercial and creative industries at Manchester firm Turner Parkinson, has just been appointed director of the company behind Manchester music venue Band on the Wall. Booth, a specialist music lawyer since 1994, acts for the likes of Ian Brown, Johnny Marr, the Zutons, Utah Saints and others. When he’s not slaving away at his desk, Obiter is informed, Booth is also a member of European electro-goth band the Cassandra Complex, which headlined Antwerp’s BodyBeats Festival in Belgium earlier this month. But he maintains his rock stardom is ‘just a Saturday job’ and being a lawyer is ‘equally fun’. We believe you, Andy. Could he be the profession’s most successful rock god? Any solicitors out there who think they can challenge him to the title can send their pics to Obiter.
