Latest ROM News

On August 1st 2007 Richard Ogden Management Ltd. (ROM) opened in São Paulo , Brasil. But thanks to the miracles of modern communications, the skills of our clients and with the help of Tom Favilla at our office in Brighton we have been able to continue to work successfully with all our clients in Poland , Portugal , Russia and the Baltic States . Projects we have successfully completed in Europe since we opened in Brasil include Rod Stewart and Ennio Morricone for Solidarity Day in Poland; Seal, Bryan Ferry and Roger Hodgson in Portugal; Chris DeBurgh, Avril Lavigne, The Pet Shop Boys, Atomic Kitten and Bryan Ferry in Moscow and The Pet Shop Boys in St.Petersburg; Katie Melua's debut Tour of Poland in April 2008 and her return to Poland in July 2009; Raemonn at "The Amber Wind" Festival and Status Quo in Lithuania; Queen & Paul Rodgers (in association with Baltic Music Group) in Latvia; Julieta Venegas in London and in Zurich (twice); Banda Calypso at Caliente Festival in Switzerland and Joss Stone, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Kat DeLuna in Poland. With our partners in Poland (MJM Music), Portugal (Espelho de Cultura) and Russia (EM Concerts) we continue to have many more shows coming through in 2010.

In Brasil ROM’s business is developing very well. We continue to work with Brasil's most successful popular artist, Ivete Sangalo whose enormously successful debut European Tour we booked in June & July 2006. After having her first baby at the end of last year the next international career step for Ivete is to become the first Brasilian artist ever to headline the Arena at Madison Square Garden in New York , where she will play on September 4 th 2010 – sponsored by TAM Airlines. During this time our relationship with Ivete’s management Company, Caco de Telha has gone from strength-to-strength and we are now working with them to develop their interest in promoting international artists in Brasil, starting with Beyonce (in association with Plan Music, H4 and Mondo) in February. Also with Caco de Telha we are developing a TV project and some other non-music events in 2010.

In May 2008 we signed an exclusive agreement to book international artists for up-and-coming Port Alegre based Concert Promoters, H4 . Their first international projects were a national tour with Julio Iglesias and dates in Porto Alegre with Lauryn Hill and Joss Stone. In 2009 we promoted James Blunt in Porto Alegre (with Plan Music) and this year we have already confirmed Beyonce (with Plan Music & Caco de Telha) in Florianopolis; Bob Sinclar in Porto Alegre and Guns ‘n Roses also in Porto Alegre (with T4F). We are now negotiating with a number of other major artists both in co-operation with bigger national promoters and to promote locally and nationally in our own right whilst H4 continues to build its reputation as the Promoter of choice in the South for all genres of Brasilan music.
