Lazarus Consulting Limited, the media business consultancy, is delighted to announce its appointment as edel music AG’s UK agent.

Lisa Stansfield, Chris Rea, Chris de Burgh, Deep Purple and Toni Braxton are just some of the international recording stars signed to edel, Europe’s leading independent and fully integrated music and media entertainment company. The company has also successfully released DVDs of TV programmes broadcast on BBC, Sat 1, RTL, Das Erste, Discovery and others, and is now stepping up its activities to source more UK original content for Europe.

Lazarus Consulting Limited, founded by Steve Lazarus, former Celador International Commercial Director and Warner Music Business Affairs Director, will search for content for edel’s various divisions. This will cover all genres of recorded music, from dance, rock, pop, jazz and classical as well as television programmes, films, kids, comedy, special interest and music content for DVD release.

Commenting on the appointment, Steve Lazarus said: “This is a great opportunity for Lazarus Consulting Limited to connect some fantastic UK music repertoire and DVD content with edel’s well established network. edel’s excellent reputation in marketing, promotion, production and distribution of recorded music and DVDs makes them a perfect partner for UK repertoire and content owners.”

Joachim Harbich, Managing Director of edel records, said: “The impressive successes landed by Steve Lazarus and his team in working with new talent, launching new products and also developing new concepts for film and TV work have convinced us to work with Lazarus Consulting Limited as a basis for achieving further successes of the type which we have had with Chris Rea, Deep Purple and Chris de Burgh. We have no doubt that his extensive contacts in the UK television production industry will deliver compelling content for our DVD divisions.”
