JONATHAN HODGE
RECORD PRODUCER
PEPPER RECORDS
 
  • Jonathan was the main creative force behind PEPPER RECORDS
  • In the first year Jonathan produced;
        • ''If I had Words' ; Scott Fitzgerald and Yvonne Keeley,
  • No 1 in the NME Charts. No 1 in Holland, Australia and New Zealand
        • 'Lipsmackin' Rockin' Rollin' ; Peter Blake No 19 UK Chart.
  • Other PEPPER projects included working with;
        • 'Restless Wind' Joe Fagin and Nirvana
        • 'Come Back' Terry Christopher
        • 'Skate City Run' Joey and the Hotshots
        • 'I do love Christmas' Ian Kellett
        • 'You and I' Debbie Raymond
        • 'Sirius 3' Duncan McKay
  • Pepper Records had an amazing success rate in the first year failing only through bad financial management of its Directors, Michael Dufficy, Michael Weston and Howard Huntridge and the unfulfilled potential of Scott and Yvonne through their unwillingness to work together again despite incredible American interest in the first single!
  • Jonathan worked as Producer on Scott's solo follow-up album for United Artists.
  • Jonathan also produced Phut Phut Splodgenik, 'The Year of the Bean'; a collaboration with the infamous Max Splodge; (www.Splodgenessabounds.com) Jonathan's unmentionable 'son'. It sadly failed to even escape the warehouse of 'Mad Records' who went into liquidation, apart from a few highly sought after copies in Jonathan's collection!
