Membership Testimonials
"There is more need than ever for strong companies whose primary concern is music and creativity. In helping independent labels, AIM helps great music to flourish."
Richard Russell, XL Recordings
"I'm so grateful to have access to the professional, friendly and always helpful advice that AIM's staff provide - no matter what kind of questions I throw their way! And it's especially a great support to have in an industry that's constantly changing, as AIM stays on top of everything that goes on."
Sofia Hagberg, End of the Road Records
"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the 'Marketing on a Shoestring' event on Weds evening. It was extremely relevant and useful. I thought all of the presentations were very good and it was a useful insight into the possibilities for marketing with only a limited budget."
Simon Lowry, A2Z Music
"For a new label, AIM is an incredible place to get information and contacts. Their help, advice and friendly attitude has been a really un-scary introduction to the music business."
Phil Hunt, Gamlingay Records
"AIM provided the vital support and help I needed to start doing business with partners in other territories. Their presence at trade events is always a comforting sight and their advice is practical and accurate."
Dutch Van Spall, Big Help Management
"AIM is an organisation with the interests of the indies at it's core. It is essential it prospers and continues to be a thorn in the side of those who wish to ignore it."
Geoff Travis, Rough Trade Records
"Last night's seminar was excellent. I thought it was a real success, very well attended and very interesting. Thanks very much for organising it, it was great to have all the advice from the experts up there on the stage."
Daniel Cross, Tape Recordings
"I have been a member of AIM for just under a year now and have reaped the rewards. I have particularly enjoyed attending industry events and have been so happy with the mentoring scheme - thank you AIM!"
Katy Carr, Deluce Recordings
"We have gained most of our industry contacts through AIM events and trade missions."
Paul Shedden, Shed Records
"For a new label AIM was fantastic at seeing us through the maze of the music business. AIM has opened doors for my company and introduced me to very good contacts that I would not have met otherwise."
Jacqueline McGuigan, Pink Penny Productions
"Thank you SO much for all the hard work and thought which you put into planning and delivering your events, they are extremely effective and worthwhile."
Kathy McNichol, Reflector Records
"Bella Union has always found AIM to be an invaluable resource. As indies we like to think we need to stand on our own two feet all the time and spurn assistance out of fool's pride. AIM is always there and for me, its like the label's Samaritan."
Simon Raymonde, Bella Union
"I just wanted to say that things are going really well on the mentoring front - our mentor has been a really great match for us. He has so many bright ideas and is so enthusiastic and on the ball!! We love him! So thanks for all your efforts."
Ella Milroy, Poop Productions
"I found the AIM mission to China enormously useful, squeezing in all those meetings and contacts and useful info into a short week. I will certainly be going back there and if all works out, so will a couple of my artists and maybe one of my producers too."
Christian Ulf-Hansen, Fire Egg Recordings
"For such a young organisation AIM is an extremely mature voice for the indie sector."
Adam Armit, Circular Records
"AIM has been invaluable in helping me run my label, increase my sales and become more efficient in all business areas of the label."
Andy McAllister, Ground Level Records
