Peter Butler - Managing Director

Simon Capper - Trade Sales

Coming from a musical family Simon was always going to end up in the music buisness in one way or another. Having played guitar since he was big enough to hold one he has become an accomplished player with over 20 years playing experience, taking influence from his guitar hero Angus Young of AC/DC.

As he entered his teens he became increasingly interested in electronic music and djing and decided to enroll on a btec music technology course at St Helens College Merseyside which he funded by his rising number of dj gigs across the UK and Europe.

He then went to study music technology and recording at Manchester Midi School - Steinbergs official training centre gaining valuable experience in working studios. After this he went to work for one the biggest vinyl and music distributors in the UK for three years and for the last two years he has worked in the sales team for www.dolphinmusic.co.uk using his knowledge of all things musical to help fellow musicians / dj's and Producers across the UK and Europe.
