Rick PalinRick Palin, one of the most respected figures in the ÜK music industry, has died.

Rick wore many hats: promoter, manager, booking agent, PR guru, radio station boss. He was the founder of Firebrand Radio and Skyfire PR, and the driving force behind the Cancer On The Rocks fundraising events. Above all, he was a champion of new and emerging artists.

He was also a good friend of Über Rock, and everyone at ÜRHQ sends our deepest condolences and sympathies to his family and colleagues.
