Paul Du Noyer (founding editor) has written about music for over 30 years, beginning as a reporter on the NME, editing Q magazine, launching Mojo and being an associate editor of Word. With hundreds of interviews to his credit, he’s been face-to-face with legends such as Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie. His books include We All Shine On, about the songs of John Lennon. Sir George Martin (Foreword, 1926-2016) produced more than 700 recordings in a 50-year career that encompassed a wide range of musical genres - jazz, rock, classical, comedy and film soundtracks, and an unprecedented 30 No. 1 Beatles and post-Beatles hits. Knighted in 1996, and recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys in the same year, George Martin was arguably the most influential and prolific record producer in history.
