Bedlam Management
Bedlam Management Ltd.
Bedlam was started in 1988, on what was then the Government Enterprise Allowance Scheme, becoming a Limited Company in 1989.
It has always based its work ethic on very simple and straightforward principles. It's main purpose is to offer support in any area possible to artists who have strong ideals about the music they make and have particular ideas regarding the way it is to be presented.
The artist is the priority and good management is both invisible and ego free.
A short history.
