A MUSIC mogul who discovered and signed Oasis is coming to Barrow for a Q&A session.

He is best known for co-funding and running the independent Creation Records label.

In 1997, the revitalised Labour Party took note of McGee’s accomplishments with Creation. They got him to spearhead a media campaign prior to the General Election in order to appeal to Britain's youth culture.
