07 September 2023 - Press release

 

Seabass Vinyl is delighted to announce the appointment of music industry veteran Ronnie Gurr as the Industry Engagement Advisor to Scotland’s first vinyl pressing plant.

Ronnie Gurr recently stood down from his role as Chief Executive Officer of Scottish Music Industry Association and will join the Seabass Vinyl team with immediate effect.

Gurr said: “I’m really looking forward to moving on to work with a family-run business with artist focused values, good governance and integrity at their core.”

“Seabass Vinyl will be one of the greenest pressing plants in the world, with sustainability and efficiency built in from the start. These core values and principles make the company a real pioneer and a welcome new addition to Scotland’s music businesses. I’m delighted to have been asked to come on board to assist at the very beginning of an incredibly exciting and innovative venture.”

“As a fellow resident of East Lothian, I am particularly excited that Seabass Vinyl will retain capacity to enable local artists and smaller record labels to build revenue streams for themselves through accessing small vinyl runs made via direct orders to the company.”

Seabass Vinyl’s owners, David and Dominique Harvey, said: “We are delighted to be working with Ronnie. His wealth of music industry experience and, in particular, the Scottish and Irish music industries, will be invaluable in building awareness about Seabass Vinyl and supporting us as we work with artists and labels in the coming months.”
