Queen’s guards sign to Decca
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 June 2009
Universal’s Decca Records has signed up the Regimental Band Of The Coldstream Guards – which is the UK’s longest serving military band, often known simply as the Queen’s Guards – and will now release an album of their music. According to reports, the regimental band’s new spin off career as recording artists will be managed by former Blue manager Daniel Glatma, which should be fun.
Confirming the deal, Decca boss Dickon Stainer told reporters “If they’re good enough for the Queen, they’re good enough for Decca”, while the guards’ Director Of Music Graham Jones added: “Our music has the power to move and inspire people in a very positive way… we’re delighted the Coldstream Guards, through Decca, will be able to reach out and share this with a much wider public”.
