Totally 100% agree with you and that is my exact point. Another Brian Epstein out of Liverpool would be great, instead of twat fixers who fill charts with pap they discover in shopping centre competitions in Ealing. Most current chart music is expendable, throw-away garbage. And it's getting worse. Try asking the best local bands how hard, or almost impossible it is to break through?

It may well be, if you are 12......there's all the stuff from DisneyChannel, TV shows etc. plus SOME good stuff and a little great stuff. Approx 60% crap, 30% OK and 10% great. During the Beatles era, from when the Merseybeat arrived, music/records were exciting, music was original, every week was exciting. It's nothing to do with "that bloke" but all about the twats who manipulate the soundtrack to our lives and the need to give real musicians a chance. The way things are, bands in Liverpool and other cities famed for evolution of great music don't stand a chance.....there's no room.

What's best? The era of Merseybeat when the Beatles came out of Liverpool, or the recent era dominated by the manufactured music on offer today, promoted by silly stories in the media, brain-numbing TV shows and controlled by a small group of influential twats.....who think that what they are selling is....""the most exciting....it has been in since the Beatles came out of Liverpool." Quote from super-dooper uber-agent-fixer Jonathan Shalit and published in the "Liverpool Echo" last year.

How to lose weight. Grab a bucket and then look at this link. Richard Kay 16 March 2010 | Mail Online

Do you want to be a rich and famous manager of totty and bands? It's easy. Here is Jonathan Shalit, with a suspicious street accent (seeing he went to private school, sent by his banker father.....I hate bankers!) telling you how it's done. Take it away Twat-face:-

Oh yeah, I guarantee to you that I'm a born and bred Northerner....just a bit educated, like most of the Labour party. Jonathan Shalit places shit stories in the media to pump up his crap artistes and the media slurp up all this garbage. Anytime they need a spokesman to talk about world-shaking musical events, for some bloody reason they call up this Shalit guy who doesn't know crap. Here's an example. Michael Jackson announced 50 gigs at the O2 and who does the telly get in but fat prat Shalit. Note the velvet collar on his waidtcoat. Thank god we don't have to see the jacket as well. Wot a paper-bag job. Here's the YouTube link:-

Could "inappropriate tactile contact" (lawyers-speak) be bottom biting of underage Charlotte by Mr Jonathan the Shalit? Surely not. But then again, she must have had something happen to turn her into, well, what she turned into. this is from the DROWNED IN SOUND Website:- Big Brovaz Cut Down To Size "Let's face it, any group managed by Jonathan Shalit is going to be pretty shit. Other people on Shalit's managerial CV, both past and present... Big Brovaz Charlotte Church Claire Sweeney Rock n' roll isn't welcome in the Shalit house."

Who said you were? A new teenage bottom for Jonathan Shalit to sink his teeth into??? From “Insiders” website. :: I N S I D E R V I E W S :: C H U R C H B A N D . . . Dear oh dear ! Looks as if Charlotte Church’s ex manager Jonathan Shalit has found a new teenage bottom to sink his teeth into, as his new Boy band 3SL are presented to the world of ‘underage’ pop. 3SL already have a very good pop link, their sister is the georgous Steps star Lisa Scott-Lee. We caught up with Lisa and broke the news that her brothers would be following her with a job in the music industry. Obviously Lisa didn’t quite understand because all she said was ‘I’m very happy that Steve and Scott have found a job in the industry . Our Price will be great work experience.’ A further blow to 3SL is the fact that Mr. Shalit still hasn’t recovered from losing the talents of Charlotte Church. Steve told me, ‘Mr. Shalit is O.K, but he’s always dressing us up like Charlotte. We keep telling him we’re boys, but all we get is make-up and skirts to wear. It’s as if he’s trying to turn us into three little Churches, but we’re blokes!’. These claims were backed up by the announcement yesterday that their first single will be a moving rendition of ‘The Lord’s My Shepherd’. The single will also feature remixes by DJ’s ‘Mathew, Luke and John’.

Great post Mendoza. This is from the web:- "Jonathan Shalit was ultimately discharged from her representation by a letter faxed by Charlotte's mother. Although allegations were later made by the Church family of "inappropriate tactile conduct" on the part of Mr. Shalit nothing ever came of them. He subsequently sued for breach of contract and received a settlement believed to be worth 2 million pounds sterling or more, although the exact details were never released since one of the parties to the matter was a minor and such details were protected under UK law. Going forward all previous involvement of Mr. Shalit was downplayed by the Church camp, and he was even airbrushed out of a photograph in her autobiography." What could Jonathan Shalit have been up to with this alleged "inappropriate tactile conduct" ??? Given he let Miss Church, who he would have been taking a huge percentage of her vast earnings, sack him, could there have been a little naughty behavior going on here.....Gary Glitter, eat your heart out.

I’m not the first to post on the WWW that Jonathan Shalit is a TWAT or that he is full of SHIT. You may as well know who to blame for a lot of the total crap you read in newspapers. Don’t believe what you read in the papers about totty. Myleene Klass and Jonathan Shalit are full of shit. « a bit of politics “Myleene Klass and Jonathan Shalit are full of shit. This guy is a major, huge twat. JANUARY 11, 2010 BY GLEN MCNAMEE 3 COMMENTS Myleene Klass hiding from Photographers I don’t normally do these sort of posts, but after reading this story; Myleene Klass ‘bemused at police knife warning’ I was full of rage. According to her agent and publicist Jonathan Shalit (agent to some of Britains best stars, such as Makosi, Biggins and Dani Behr) “She is not looking to be a vigilante, and has the utmost respect for the law, but when the police explained to her that even if you’re at home alone and you have an intruder, you are not allowed to protect yourself, she was bemused.” So you can debate the wisdom of waving a knife at youths (children?) rather than telling them just to fuck off all you want, however what is interesting is the police seems to have a different version of events. But a statement from Hertfordshire police said: “Officers spoke to reassure the home owner, talked through security and gave advice in relation to the importance of reporting suspicious activity immediately to allow officers to act appropriately.” It added: “For clarification, at no point were any official warnings or words of advice given to the home owner in relation to the use of a knife or offensive weapon in their home.” Mr Shalit could not immediately be reached for further comment. I bet he couldn’t, not surprising given the history of dubious Myleene related stories in the press; e.g. having a go at NHS maternity care, oh noes I’m stuck to hospital bed (might be true, but it’s just stupid) and the story she told the Sun about a meeting between Derren Brown and Derek Acorah, despite it not being true, read Derren Brown’s Tricks of the Mind for the full story. However Google news now has 200+ reports of this story where Myleene’s word is taken as fact giving us more Britain’s gone ’elf and safety mad tabloid nonsense while giving Myleene lots and lots of free publicity. Twats. EDIT: 22:01 11/01/2009 Oh what a bizarre co-inky-dink it seems Myleene is also currently promoting her new ITV1 series Popstar To Operastar.”

Blackberry Way Absolutely ....... .... .... .... Its a terrible day Up with a lark Silly girl I don't know what to say She was running away So now Im standing on the corner Lost, in the things that I say What am I supposed to do now-w????

BECAUSE, given Jonathan Shalit helps his "talent" flog pics of themselves so you lot can wank over them, he belongs on this site, along with football, booze and birds. Don't you want to know where your wank fodder comes from?

From “The Times” Shalit, 47, who is single and lives in Kensington, west London, will appear in a panel discussion on reality television at the Edinburgh International TV Festival on August 29. How much money do you have in your wallet? I’ve got about £300 in sterling, euros and dollars. I often travel at short notice between Europe and America on business. What credit cards do you use? My main ones are a British Airways American Express card and a black American Express Centurion. The yearly cost of having Centurion trebled in September from £600 to £1,800, but it offers the most amazing 24-hour concierge service. Are you a saver or a spender? I tend to spend on the real luxuries. I also have a quality tailor and I spend quite a lot on my suits, which all have velvet collars. How much did you earn last year? I earned more than I did the year before, which was more than the year before that. Only the taxman and the accountant know exactly how much. Let’s just say I made a comfortable six-figure sum. How has the recession affected you? Times of recession provide opportunities. Shalit Global’s repeat business has been down, but sometimes there are more possibilities in difficult economic climates — you just have to dig deeper for them. If, like me, you are an entrepreneur, your job is to create opportunities out of nothing. For example, I have been working with Myleene Klass in developing the Baby K clothing brand for Mothercare. We always encourage our clients to diversify in all they do and think outside the box. Have you ever been really hard up? Even though I come from a comfortable background, my parents never spoilt me. They gave me the core things in life, such as education, but I had to work for my money. When I was a teenager, we lived in Sussex and I got pocket money for clearing the hay bales from the farm next door, which my grandmother owned. I remember being very excited when I got my first pay packet in a brown envelope and there was £16 in it for a week’s work. I had a couple of other jobs at the time, too. I worked in a local music factory stuffing records into envelopes and on a nearby chicken farm slaughtering chickens to be sold at the market. Do you own a property? I have a flat in Kensington, which I bought in 2001 for £860,000. I used part of my £2.3m settlement to pay for it and converted two of the four bedrooms into a study and dining room. About four months ago, I also bought a converted barn in Sussex for a seven-figure sum. I did very well on buy-to-let properties but got out of the market two years ago. From 2001 to 2007, I bought about 20 ex-council flats in west London for anything between £160,000 and £280,000. They went up steadily in value and gave me a guaranteed income because they were used by first-time renters. I worked out that I made about 12% more than I would have done if I had put the money anywhere else. I will definitely invest in buy-to-lets again but I think I will have to wait until a year after the next election, once the economic situation has settled down. What was your first job? When I left school, I started work as an insurance broker at Lloyd’s of London. But I really wanted to break into music from the very beginning. In fact, Richard Branson offered me a job with the old Virgin Records, but my parents persuaded me to turn it down. I stayed at Lloyd’s for a year-and-a-half, on the grand sum of £4,000, but I hated it. What has been your most lucrative work and did you use the money to buy anything special? In 1999, I signed a $1m (£600,000) deal with the Ford Motor Corporation in Detroit. I was still looking after Charlotte Church and she appeared in their millennium commercial, which was a celebration of Ford and the 20th century. It broadcast on November 1, 1999, for two minutes on virtually every commercial TV station in the world. I got 20% of Charlotte’s earnings, so those two minutes earned me $200,000. I used the money to clear all my debts. Are you better off than your parents? My father was a banker — he’s retired now — and it would be vulgar to make any exact comparisons, but we share the same work ethic. My family came to England from Hungary and Latvia in the 1920s and achieved a lot through hard work and persistence. Do you invest in shares? About 80% of my portfolio is in equities. I have a spread of investments and my private pension is mostly in shares. I have never really done high-risk investments, though, because you don’t get anything for nothing. I also have three paintings by the British artist Patrick Heron, which I regard as part of my investment portfolio even though they are not hugely valuable. I bought them nine years ago and each cost a five-figure sum. What’s better — property or pension? With a property you have a tangible asset to enjoy, whereas with pensions the goalposts keep moving. I have been investing in my private pension for the past 15 years, but heaven knows what that will be worth in 20 or 30 years. As a rule of thumb, I put about 5% of my earnings into it. I do top-ups each year as well. What’s been your best investment? Investing time and money in the amazing people I work with, both clients and staff. What about worst? A couple of my ex-clients invested far less effort in their careers than I did. Do you manage your own financial affairs? I have a collection of people to advise me and I spread my wealth around so I don’t get caught out if one investment plummets. What’s the most extravagant thing you have ever bought? My apartment in Kensington. What is your money weakness? I have two. One is eating at Richard Caring restaurants like The Ivy and Scott’s. The other is my annual Christmas holiday in Barbados. What aspect of the tax system would you change? I would scrap the top tax at 50%, which will probably mean you are paying 70% after National Insurance and Vat. It will be detrimental to the UK’s commercial and trading sectors because it won’t incentivise people to work beyond a certain level. What is your financial priority? Build the wealth of my clients and maintain the profitability of my business. What is the most important lesson you have learnt about money? The more you have, the more you worry because you get more responsibilities.

From the GMTV website: "Neil set up the band with his family 10 years ago. He was a scout leader and his children were scouts and guides. The local village wanted the scouts to take part in a local fair, so he got his children together and formed a band. Everyone said how brilliant they were and they have been playing in a band together ever since." The 'No 1 Family' judging panel included The Saturdays' A&R 'guru' Jordan Jay, a Nolan, and 'music impresario' Jonathan Shalit. Shalit is the walking, talking, contract-negotiating embodiment of everything people talk about when they discuss 'music industry men in suits'. He is 'the man' young artists are told to avoid. If you think about all the self-appointed music revolution warriors bleating on about brave new futures for the world of recorded and unrecorded music, and if you think about all the blogs, and thinktanks, and conferences and podcasts they're involved with, and if you think about all these ways they advise new artists to take control of their careers instead of signing their lives away to 'the man', and if you then think of Jonathan Shalit, you begin to wonder whether Shalit's retirement or sudden and of course very sad death might actually calm everyone down a bit. You wonder whether Shalit disappearing from the world of mainstream music might make all the DIY evangelists suddenly go, 'well the current music industry model is outdated and needs some work, but actually with him out of the way it's about five times less terrible than it was this time last week, maybe give it a try'. Anyway you can get the general feel of 'No 1 Family' and Beardsmith in this clip. Our favourite bit is at the two minute forty five point when Shalit is really hamming up the tension and drama and, behind him, some old love's having trouble with a Mint Imperial. Brilliant.

"Well that Myleen Clas is out of a 'band' isn't she. I've always thought she was fit but then I read about her sitting with Derek Acorah in Derren Brown's book when Derren Brown met Derek whom and she got her pr company to place a story in the Scum about it telling all these lies to make Derek look like some sort of sex God and Derren was just some pathetic jealous wannabe in the presence of a great mind. She's obviously one of them fit burds whose taken to hanging out with some of the worst twats in town." Just what I was saying. This guy is a manipulator. Don't know if he was behind this but on all available evidence it sounds more than possible.

Hardly......nor am I wound up......but given the interest in fit women taking their kit off for big dosh, you now know that Jonathan Shalit, the twat, is laughing all the way to the bank? He's gaining fast on Simon Cowell by selling tits and bums.

There are far better people to hang out with. But she's not the only one to hang out with this publicity seeking fat dwarf:- http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk/forum/gf-general-forum/91908-oh-happy-day.html even though he has "personal habits" that seem to upset some people.

That's not the half of it. Charlotte Church, who sacked her short, fat manager when she was only 14 was reported as saying, in national newspapers that she dislked his personal habilts. QUOTE: "Jonathan Shalit, who is suing the opera singer and her parents for £5m for breach of contract, was sacked "out of the blue" in a letter that stated the 14-year-old soprano "disliked his personal habits." What could those habits have been to so offend???
