Mean Fiddler Music Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mean Fiddler is a United Kingdom music promoter and owner of venues. Among its interests, it runs the Reading and Leeds festivals, owns the London Astoria and holds a contract to organise the Glastonbury Festival (which comes up for review before the next Glastonbury). It also owns the G-A-Y brand.

The group was founded in 1982 by chairman Vince Power, with a venue called simply 'Mean Fiddler'. After acquiring the LA2 in 2000, it was renamed to become the current Mean Fiddler Music Group.

As of April 2005, they had accepted a takeover bid from Hamsard Ltd, a co-operative company 50.1% owned by Live Nation UK (formerly the entertainment division of Clear Channel UK but now part of Live Nation International) and 49.9% owned by Irish event organiser MCD.

2006 has seen the Mean Fiddler reduce its touring and promotion activities to concentrate on running festivals. It is still in control of the very successful Reading & Leeds festivals and has announced a new edition in the Latitude Festival.
