Independent live music agency Lola Artists launched

Former X-Ray Touring agent Jamie Wade has founded new agency Lola Artists.

The London-based operation will see Wade continue to work with an artist roster including Kate Nash, We Are Scientists, Connie Constance and The Futureheads.

Wade (pictured) has more than 20 years of experience in the live industry, having previously worked with a wide range of talent across the UK and international markets.

He said, “I wanted to build an agency where service and creativity come first, one that works closely with artists and managers to help them grow meaningful, sustainable careers. Lola Artist will be focused, and collaborative and I’m excited to take this next step with an incredible roster of artists.”
