Testimonials
Alex Milas / Editor Metal Hammer Magazine
Darren’s exceptional knowledge of the music, along with his outstanding relationships within the industry make for a powerful combination that’s second to none. Louise Brown / Editor Terrorizer Magazine/ IronFist Magazine
We're always going to be more open to covering or reviewing a band if their press officer can pick up the phone and engage in a bit if friendly banter with you first. That's Darren's secret weapon, make you laugh and then hit you with the requests for coverage. He's a pleasure to work with. Ines Weidemann International Artist Marketing
I have been working with Darren Toms for over 3 years now. We worked together on projects like Ministry (Rio Grande Blood, The Last Sucker, Cover Up), Prong (Power Of The Damager), Ascension Of The Watchers „ Numinosum“ or Zeromancer „Sinners International“ just to name a few. I love working with Darren, because he is very passionate about his work. He is one of the few industry people who still have a vision and put a lot of energy into promoting established artists as well as newcomers. And besides of this, he is a great person, with a great sense of humour, which makes our day to day business a pleasure. Daniel P Carter BBC Radio One'
Working at the BBC presenting The Radio One Rock Show, I come into contact with many labels and their representatives. I can say that of all the people I deal with on a regular basis, Darren is one of the most knowledgeable and thorough. Its rare to find someone with such a passion and love of the music, do their job with such conviction for all the acts they represent, be they the largest on the roster or the new signings. Top geezer...
Ihsahn / Solo artist / Emperor
Darren has been handling all my press for years and from day one I've felt he has had my best interests at heart. On the practical side he is spending my available press-time wisely, making sure I am comfortable with my tasks and is always planning ahead and keeping me in the loop. On a larger scale I think that he has played an important role in my career-transition from Emperor to solo-artist, which no doubt has been a challenge. He has the vital knowledge and passion for music and our relationship is built on mutual trust, respect and a good laugh! Dom Lawson / Journalist Metal Hammer / Brave Words/ The Guardian
Sometimes it's hard to forge meaningful relationships within the music industry, but through his exceptional PR work and unerring ability to make things happen, Darren has become not only my favourite press officer on the planet, but also one of my closest friends in the entire world. He has an uncanny knack for spotting the diamonds amid the general mass, and his efficiency and reliability makes my life easier on an almost weekly basis. Malcolm Dome / Journalist Classic Rock / Author
I have known Emma Barnett for a number of years now. Her dedication and commitment is unquestionable. Emma refuses to take the easy path, if it means letting people down.Her ability to get on with people is also a massive asset. She has natural social skills, and knows how to make everyone feel comfortable, while getting the very best out of them.This combination of strengths makes her a significantly focused, positive and achieving person. Jerry Ewing – Editor, Prog Magazine
I’ve known Emma for nigh on a decade, and have worked with her on Total Rock Radio for a good part of those. She has always struck me as one of the most passionate and determined of individuals, whose knowledge of rock music in its many guises remains as impressive as her ability to get things done. She remains a joy to hang around and to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending her in every way possible. Tony Newton / Sound engineer ( Iron Maiden) / Director of White knuckle records
Emma has worked for us in a number of capacities over many years. She started selling tour merchandise
at shows for the band Voodoo Six and gradually began to help tour manage the band while on the road. Her lively and bubbly personality is very contagious and gives a great atmosphere to any situation. We have always found Emma to be very trustworthy and reliable. Handling large sums of money and keeping track of sales is vital to a band’s ability to tour. Added peace of mind to know that you have someone who can be trusted to deal with any situation that arises, and always with a smile.
