Neil Treloar was Catfish and the Bottlemen’s manager during their debut album and tour. He now has a company called Touchpaper Music. 

One of the most optimistic and enthusiastic people I had ever met was Neil Simpson Treloar. He was the manager of a band I worked on with JIm Abbiss - Catfish and the Bottlemen. Neil and I are pretty much the same age, have a similar outlook on life and have been on a very similar personal and professional journey, almost in parallel. 

We have a really quite rambly chat that covers many subjects, but the main themes are: What Do You Want out of life, and how you go about pursuing that, and what do you do when you get there? This will be a very illuminating chat for prospective managers, producers and artists, to appreciate some of the pitfalls, high and lows of building any kind of career in music.
