2001

- February 2001 - Nick Feldman was an A&R manager for Warner Music UK Limited (WEA Records in London), promoting fine new bands such as Arturo, The Screaming Orphans, The Webb Brothers, and ARKARNA. However, in February 2001 WEA A&R manager Nick Feldman left the company ahead of an expected reshuffle, prompted by the pending Warner/London Records merger. By March 2001, WEA Records and London Records finally merged, resulting in departures from both companies. Nick then moved on to become an A&R man working for Sony Music UK with David Massey, who was Wang Chung's manager back in the 1980's. (David is a Senior Vice President of A&R of International Repertoire at Sony Music).

2003

- ILLUMINATED was formed in 2003 and grew out of friends just getting together and playing. The repertoire initially included music by Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis and Kenny Wheeler. It now consists mainly of original compositions by Jack Hues, influenced by everything from electric Miles Davis, Steve Reich, Aphex Twin, Pink Floyd to Johannes Brahms and Radiohead. The music that illuminated plays, in their current guise, combines composition and improvisation with the cohesiveness and spontaneity that is only achievable through frequently playing together.

Founder members were Jack Hues (guitar), Sam Bailey (piano), Nadia Tewfik (violin), and Clive Fletcher (double bass). Paul Townsend was originally drafted in as a percussionist, but ended up playing full drum kit. He left and Michael Porter joined the band in March 2003.Paul Booth (saxophones) has played with the band on some gigs and appears on the demo extracts. Other guests have included Tony Coe (saxophones) and Martin Elliot (bass guitar). Clive Fletcher left the band in December and Rutledge Turnland (double bass) joined in January 2004.

- September 13, 2003 - Canterbury, UK - Canterbury Christ Church University College. Almost two thousand people flocked to the Canterbury Campus Annual Open Day... making it the busiest Open Day the University College has held to date. Jazz quintet "Illuminated" entertained visitors (photo on page 5).
