Director / Bullocks Touring

Ade Bullock’s greatest strengths are his relentlessly positive outlook and his utter OCD about giving clients the very best service - even when they’re not looking.
In 1999, Ade was in his seventh year working for royalty audit firm Stephen Abery & Co. when the urge to ‘go solo’ burned too bright to ignore. All these years later, not only is Bullocks still standing, it’s thriving - which Ade ranks as single biggest achievement of his career.

His second “favourite” professional moment was appearing on stage with Robbie Williams’ wearing only an ill-fitting pair of Rock DJ pants and a giant fibreglass Robbie head. (Auckland November 2015 - Photos not available on request). In between, there have huge ground-breaking projects for Radiohead and Daft Punk, working with a legion of respected artists and comedians - and lots of laughs along the way.

Before all this, Ade worked variously as a wannabe theatrical producer, radio DJ and a piano dealer…he brought his enthusiastic and principled approach to all of these roles, but had to wait until he took up royalty auditing and tour accounting to finally find something he was, allegedly, good at.

Ade has two party tricks: falling asleep in sonic conditions above 105 decibels, and juggling - although sadly not at the same time. If he were to go on Mastermind he’d fancy his chances on the specialist subjects of “Radiohead Setlists” and Jo Nesbo’s “Harry Hole” novels.

Ade loves rock, alternative and electronica, with particular soft spots for Maccabees, Django Django, Kraftwerk and of course, Radiohead. The first record he ever bought was Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody when he was 8, to say sorry to his big brother for ‘accidentally’ snapping his copy into four pieces.

Ade’s most fondly-remembered gigs are the Housemartins (Bristol ’83), Crowded House (Hamburg 93) and Presidents of the USA (SxSW in 2000-ish). His go-to record labels are Warp, Factory and On-U.

Away from leading Bullocks, he supports Medway RFC and Bristol City FC, loves audio books, pontificating on politics and encouraging young people into the arts.

Kashif Khan

Director / Bullocks Royalty Services
Contact me

Kash has been a Director at Bullocks since 2006. Before that he worked for various reputable accountancy and audit practices.

At Bullocks, he busies himself with attracting new clients and driving the company forward. He is proud to have worked with many high profile clients and has undertaken countless large audit projects.

Kash enjoys playing tennis and doing yoga. If he went on Mastermind “the career of tennis legend Bjorn Borg,” would be his chosen specialist subject.

Kash is a well-rounded conversationalist: he can be diplomatic, empathetic and sarcastic all in the same sentence. Sarcastic diplomacy is such a niche skill these days, with so few top-flight practitioners.

Frank Walshe

Director / Bullocks Rights Management
Contact me

Frank heads up rights management, as well as leading many successful projects on catalogue acquisition, artist renegotiations, and royalty consultancy.

He’s been with Bullocks since 2007. Prior to that he had an eight year stint in artist management, which taught him how the music industry really works. Before that, Frank’s life was dominated by the noble pursuits of playing ice hockey and collecting vinyl.

Frank is the biggest music geek of a musically geeky bunch. The sheer volume of pub quiz points he has accrued down the years stands testament to this. His punctilious nature is his biggest strength, whether it is recalling a catalogue number, dissecting a contract clause or making yet another bust serving as Bullocks’ Grammar Police.

Frank’s ‘Desert Island’ record labels are Stax, Atlantic, and Motown and his most memorable all time gig was Suede in Toronto in 1993. If he went on Mastermind his chosen specialist subject would be “T-Rex albums and singles” or “Stanley Cup Champions 1967-2000.”

Most of his party tricks involve a hockey puck in some way - skills he feels are lost on a British audience, but are guaranteed show-stoppers back home in Canada.

Away from work, Frank supports Arsenal and the Toronto Maple Leafs – both of which can be quite trying at times. Above all though, his favourite thing to do is watch Saturday morning cartoons with his children, and his idea of the perfect holiday is to be back in Canada for Christmas, with the snow falling, and family all around.

Stephanie Skinner

Royalties Assistant
Contact me

Steph likes to whistle while she works - pop songs mostly. The pop bug bit her early when she bought her first record, Mel C and Bryan Adams’ When You’re Gone.

This dedication to quality music led her to Bullocks straight out of college (where she got A-levels in Media, Sociology and Geography, all of which come in handy when she’s working on royalty projects).

She’s been with Bullocks since 2012, first starting off with admin duties and later taking on more royalty audit work. She revelled in the extra responsibility, carving out a reputation as a reliable, adaptable problem solver.

One problem she wishes she could have solved is Andy Carroll’s injury record – as she’s an avid West Ham United fan and season ticket holder. Steph loves getting her wellies on and hitting festivals: her best ever gig was Ed Sheeran at V.

Steph is super-active; she loves to hit the gym and run. When she’s done running, she likes to binge on TV shows like Benidorm and Death in Paradise.

Steph in three words? Adaptable. Reliable. Essex.
