Nick Ralph moved from band manager through fanzine editor and record-shop owner to record-label boss. The experience he gathered gave him an unrivalled grounding to found Midnight Music in 1982, and the label’s progress initially paralleled 4AD and Cherry Red in the Eighties. First signings Sad Lovers And Giants, at that time rivals of U2, put them on the map, while the later absorption of September Records and the Medium Cool label added McCarthy, the Wolfhounds and the Corn Dollies to the Midnight roster. The story ended in the Nineties but the music the label purveyed has gathered kudos over the years and is currently enjoying CD reissue
