RE-ISSUE & ARCHIVE CONSULTANCY
Since 1988, it has developed relationships with many national and international music industry figures, artists and organisations through its work with several reference pieces.
Our hallmarks are tenacity (curiously enough), attention to detail and an ability to relate to the subject. One work - still in progress - will catalogue the huge input from musicians from the North East who have contributed at every level of the global music industry.
Tenacity's Dave Hill was also responsible for the release of 'Fog On The Tyne; The Official History of Lindisfarne', published by Northdown Publishing. The publishers (who have also issued books by - or featuring - Ralph McTell, Dr. Feelgood and Man) worked with Dave again on the Kindle release of the book which is now updated (Book image, link and quotes below)
Such skills have been utilised by Tyne Tees Television, and in sleeve notes for several releases including titles for Virgin Records, Mooncrest, Castle Music, Eagle Rock, Warner Strategic Marketing and River Records, who were keen to point out that "This really sets the standard for reissue projects".
Virgin said of our work with Bert Jansch, Jack the Lad and Lindisfarne: "Thanks - firstly for the ideas, and secondly for all your efforts".
Warner Strategic Marketing praised Dave Hill’s work on the reissue of Alan Hull’s ‘Squire’ album as “Beyond the call of duty”.
