HasBeen (born February 18, 1975), is a former marketing consultant and education professional who now works in healthcare. During the late 90’s he helped set up a partnership of clubs and bars across the UK, his commitment to establishing a network of medium-sized performance spaces described by the NME at the time as “giving lifeblood to grass-roots live music”. A musician himself, he is a tireless promoter of alternative entertainment at a local level.
He has a massive chip on his shoulder about corporate mass-marketing, inappropriate use of erotic imagery in the public domain, the decline of the British educational system and the take over of the National Health Service by private financial interests.
