Alan McGee counts the personal cost of Creation

The slightly camp Glaswegian twang of former Creation Records boss Alan McGee is echoing through the bar of an upmarket Glasgow hotel, just minutes from King Tut’s, the venue in which he discovered two of the UK’s biggest rock bands, Oasis and Glasvegas.

Wearing a long brown coat, pork pie hat and sunglasses, he is dressed more like a pimped-up Mr Magoo than an indie music mogul.

 

But then his life is less rock‘n’roll and more tea’n’biscuits these days.
