Paul Harvey, director of Madison Management, died earlier this month, according to Music Week. He had been suffering from a long illness, and was 44 when he died.
Having originally worked in IT and banking, Harvey only moved into the music industry earlier this decade, but quickly became a popular player in the industry, providing both management and auditing services for artists through his company Madison. Artists he worked with included Mungo Jerry, Lee John, Alannah Myles and Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
Harvey was an active member of the Music Managers' Forum and the Association Of Independent Music, and regularly appeared at music business conventions and the like. He was recently interviewed about management in Dennis Publishing's 'How To Make It In Music' magazine.
