Universal Music Publishing Group has bought Big Life Music. As part of the agreement UMPG has a worldwide publishing deal with the multi-platinum selling Snow Patrol for past and future works.
Founded in 1987 by Jazz Summers and Tim Parry, Big Life Music has a catalogue including more than 2,000 copyrights.
Snow Patrol have sold more than seven million albums to date. Signed to Big Life since 2002, Snow Patrol’s catalogue comprises all songs from their albums Final Straw (Fiction/Polydor) and Eyes Open (Fiction/Polydor), including the hit singles Chasing Cars, Run, and You’re All I Have.
"Rarely do you find a music company as edgy and diversified as Big Life,” says Universal Publishing Europe and UK president Paul Connolly. “Jazz and Tim have consistently pushed the creative envelope over many years. We are delighted with the acquisition and of course very proud to represent Snow Patrol.”
Big Life Records and Big Life Management are unaffected by the deal.
UMP UK’s roster includes Adele, Lily Allen, Bjork, The Clash, Coldplay, Elvis Costello, The Cure, Feist, Franz Ferdinand, Elton John/Bernie Taupin, Joy Division, Keane, The Killers, Kate Nash, Sex Pistols, The Smiths, Van Morrison, and Paul Weller, amongst others.
