About Company

Savidge has won several awards for PR in music. In 1991 she won a Music Week award for Curve. In 1992 the Music Week Best PR Campaign went to Savage & Best for Suede. In 1995 and 1997 she received 2nd place Music Week PR Campaign awards for Suede.

Savidge's first book Lunch With The Wild Frontiers: A History Of Britpop And Excess in 13 and a 1/2 Chapters was published by Jawbone in May 2019 to much critical acclaim. The Mail On Sunday called Savidge "a decidedly unshrunk violet" and "good company – candid, irreverent, wryly amused, capturing the innocence of Britpop, the frazzled nights and chemical dawns," whilst the Glasgow Herald hailed her book as a "20th century glitterball take on Machiavelli's The Prince". Q magazine also praised her book as "an eye-opening, read in one sitting autobiography", whilst Classic Pop magazine awarded it five stars and heralded it as "an exhilarating and hilarious expose of the scene, recounted in a gloriously gossipy style with a vibrancy that sees it begging to be adapted for the screen, an addictive read which lifts the lid on the stories that hit the headlines as well as a fair few that were deliberately concealed. By far the finest book on Britpop to date." Record Collector went further, calling her book "a rum old blast from a wonderfully ridiculous past whilst the fun lasts”, whilst Stylist magazine saw it as "a tale of the messy, exciting and truly invigorating whirl that created an unparalleled moment in British music. It's also a fascinating and funny step back in time to a world where demo cassettes and weekly music papers ruled Britain."
