Phil Hardy
Phil Hardy was an English film and music industry journalist. He was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire in 1945 and studied at the University of Sussex, 1964-1969, during which time he was a visiting student at the Berkeley campus of the University of California (1966-1967).
At Sussex he started The Brighton Film Review. He worked as a freelance music and film writer, writing for Time Out, Variety, Let It Rock and other publications while at the same time acting as a consultant on music business issues for bodies such as the Greater London Enterprise Board and the World Bank.
In 1986 he travelled to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan to research and write the documentary film, Food Trucks & Rock'n'Roll about how the money raised by Band Aid was spent in Africa. He was the founding editor of Music and Copyright, a bi-weekly newsletter offering news and analysis on the international music industry. The newsletter was subsequently bought by the Informa Media Group and in 2008 Hardy left Music and Copyright to publish and edit the online newsletter theviewfromtheboundary (www.theviewfromtheboundary.com).
Phil wrote or edited several books on music and film, including Samuel Fuller (1970), The Faber Companion to 20th Century Popular Music (1990), and The BFI Companion to Crime (1997). He was also the chief editor and contributing writer of The Aurum Film Encyclopedia.
In 2012, he self-published Dire Straits, an account of the 12 major music markets in 2010-2011, as a Kindle book. His account of the last 20 or so years of the record industry, Download!: How Digital Transformed the Record Business, came out in February 2013 in the UK and US from Omnibus Press. Nickels & Dimes, his book about the modern era of music publishing, is due out in 2014.
Phil died very unexpectedly in April 2104. At the time of his death he was writing a history of the Universal Music Group, Building the World’s Largest Record Company. He was the co-owner with Dave Laing of a jolly good photo library, Gems, which specialised in promo pics of rock and pop stars from all eras.
