Grant Showbiz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grant Showbiz is a British record producer and live sound recordist. He is principly known for his work with Billy Bragg, but has also produced records for The Fall, The Smiths and Alternative TV.

In the early 1970s, in his role as soundman for Here & Now, Showbiz ran the sound and stage at many free festivals such as Windsor and Stonehenge. Using a microphone plugged into the soundboard he would often amiably harangue those onstage to get on with it, or off, as circumstances might merit. Showbiz is also a former member of studio-based band Moodswings.

He was married to Frank Chickens frontwoman Kazuko Hohki
