About Debs Wild:

Debs Wild is a music industry consultant, writer, and speaker who has worked in the music business for almost thirty years. In 1998, while working in A&R, she discovered Coldplay at a small club in Manchester and has worked closely with the band ever since.

She is Coldplay's Fan Liaison and Web Ambassador and has played a unique role in documenting their journey from unsigned hopefuls to one of the world's biggest bands.

Her book, Life in Technicolor: A Celebration of Coldplay, offers a unique insider perspective on the band's journey from unsigned hopefuls to one of the biggest acts in the world. Updated for 2025, it features original interviews, rare photographs, and exclusive memorabilia from Chris Martin's personal archives.


"Debs, without you we would be nowhere." – Chris Martin


About COLDPLAY-OKE with Alex Fordham:

Part karaoke, part celebration of one of the world's biggest bands.

Join Alex Fordham for Coldplay-oke, a unique karaoke experience where you take the microphone and sing your favourite Coldplay songs accompanied live on acoustic guitar.

From 'Yellow' and 'The Scientist' to 'Clocks', 'Viva La Vida' and beyond, choose your song, step up to the mic and become Chris Martin for a few minutes.

No backing tracks, no judges and no pressure. Just great songs, a live guitarist and a room full of fellow Coldplay fans.


About Simon Williams:

As a one-time NME journalist, former Xfm radio presenter, toilet-circuit promoter and the founder of enduring homespun British record label Fierce Panda, Simon Williams has been at the cutting, cutting, cutting edge of all things 'indie' for over thirty years.

During his tenure as managing director of Fierce Panda (a role he holds to this day), Simon was responsible for tripping over bands such as Coldplay, Keane, Placebo and countless other acts of independent hue.

Unfiltered and unflinching, Pandamonium! is the story of Simon's time at the indie coalface, filled with insider anecdotes to entertain music enthusiasts everywhere - from the origins of a bootlegged Oasis release to Chris Martin's delight at reaching number ninety-two in the charts.
