Today, the Guardian released their 'Music Power 100' list, a rundown of the most important and influential people, teams and companies in the UK's music industry right now. The panel in charge of compiling this list was made up of senior music industry figures including Jonathan Morrish, director of PR and corporate communications at PPL, the music licensing company that represents 45,000 performers.

For us, the big news is the presence of live music promoters throughout the list with Simon Moran of SJM concerts featuring highest at #9. The concert giant appears ahead of Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am, CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos and is only a place being the co-founder of Google! SJM co-owns the V-Festival who we regularly provide security wristbands for. SJM are also the promoters of Take That's Progress tour, which starts tonight in Sunderland.
