Life In The Stocks

#018 Alan McGee (Music Executive)

Music industry legend Alan McGee joins Matt this week to discuss his childhood in Glasgow and the bands and artists that inspired him growing up, the independent music scene in the 80s, the key records that he put out on Creation Records in the 90s, signing Oasis, his struggles with drugs, his family life, friendships with the likes of Malcolm McLaren, Tony Wilson, Bobby Gillespie &amp; Noel Gallagher, and so much more. Because you can't have the story of British indie music without Alan McGee.
