By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 27 March 2018
Content company Entertainment One has acquired live music firm Round Room Entertainment. The latter’s Co-Presidents – Stephen Shaw and Jonathan Linden – will continue to lead the business as a division of eOne.
“Across all areas of music, we work with so many spokes on the wheel and live entertainment is such an important one”, says eOne’s Global President For Music Chris Taylor. “Adding Round Room to our team, with Stephen and Jonathan at the helm, is going to provide the capacity to expand the reach of our brands, touch more fans on a global scale, and further elevate our management roster”.
Shaw adds: “We are very excited to join eOne and become a part of their global family, while continuing to grow our core roster. This is a very strategic move for both sides, and we look forward to working closely with Chris and his team to connect his extensive roster of artists with countless fans around the world”.
