A fabbo tea with tea with David & wife Maren, and David’s business partner in IE Management Tim Smith, with Tim’s wife.

Tim is joint Managing Director of ie:music, managing Robbie Williams, Sia, Archive and Craig Armstrong with his partner David Enthoven. He is a former Managing Director of Island Records, working with the legendary Chris Blackwell on a stellar roster that included Bob Marley, Cat Stevens, Steve Winwood and countless other rock, folk and reggae luminaries including David Enthoven’s EG roster of King Crimson, Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry.
