About Us

"By Fans for Fans"

Phoenix Rising Productions Limited was set up in 1998 by fans for fans of melodic rock and AOR music... there were so many new rock bands with nowhere to play.  The Gods is great, as is Z Rocks but these only cater for established signed bands.  Phoenix Risings objective is to promote new up and coming melodic rock bands as well as more established bands by providing them with a gig to play at.  It is not a record label.  Its role is to put on concerts promoting melodic rock and AOR bands.  It is a wholly independent of any record label involvement.  

The concept of Phoenix Rising as an event started in early 1998 as the brain child of Chev.  Chev is the DJ at Jilly's Rockworld in Manchester, England.  Financing the gig herself, Chev put on 3 bands in March 1998 at Jilly's.  Since then there have been regular events every six months.   It was after the second event that John Adams (of John Adams Solutions Limited) got involved and started sponsoring the events.  These Phoenix Rising events have attracted a lot of interest from the melodic rock and AOR press.  As a result of more press interest and encouragement, Chev and John decided to set Phoenix Rising up on a more professional basis and form a company to run the gigs, hence Phoenix Rising Productions Limited was born. 

It is our intention to hold events every 6 months.  The ticket prices are kept to an absolute minimum, no one involved in the general running of these events gets paid.... it is purely for the love of the music.   If you are in a band and wish to play then please contact us at enquiries@PhoenixRising.co.uk.
