Imagem re-signs Nik Kershaw
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 14 June 2013
Would Imagem “let the sun go down” on its partnership with songwriter and one-time pop star Nik Kershaw? Of course not. “Wouldn’t it be good” to renew that alliance? Yes, yes it would. Here ends my knowledge of Kershaw songs to cornily reference in this report. Oh, didn’t he write the Chesney Hawkes hit ‘The One And Only’, the best soundtrack for a chair ever written?
Anyway, Kershaw first signed with music publisher Rondor in 1984, and has been tied to Imagem on the publishing side since it acquired Rondor in 2008. Confirming that deal had now been re-signed, Imagem UK MD Kim Frankiewicz told CMU: “Nik Kershaw’s catalogue is pivotal to the shape of British pop music in the 80s and 90s. It’s fantastic to be working with such a vibrant artist, who continues to write new material and perform live”.
