The reunited mainstay of the ‘90s movement that ruled the U.K. charts and led to the wider ‘Cool Britannia’ movement — ahem,of course — recently played their biggest shows ever at the 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium.
“Maybe that’s what we don’t have anymore,” she says. “It’s a particular scene, so that feels exciting. No disrespect to any of those bands but Blur are in a league of their own, in my opinion.” Ivory says she has “no idea” if the success will prompt the band to make the reunion more permanent — “They’re very happy, that’s all I know” — but says the return has been extensively documented by a film crew, so there may be further releases to come.
“The Good Witch” sold over 20,000 copies in its first week to become a rare recent British breakthrough success and Peters’ manager, Bobby Havens of Grumpy Old Management, says it is “vindication” for the star’s hard work. “The hit singles thing feels like an algorithmic trick sometimes,” he says. “There’s so much luck involved. But she’s a natural on social media – whenever Maisie speaks to the audience, it’s our biggest bump, more than any promo. It’s also something you can do every day. There are upsides and downsides to that, but when someone enjoys it as much as Maisie does, it’s good.”
“America is a tough nut to crack,” says Havens. “And because it’s so big, no one knows how to do it. Our thing is we’ll just work and keep going and hopefully next time we come, we’ll be playing much bigger rooms.” The documentary cracked the U.K. box office Top 20 on release, following similar success in America, and has sparked renewed interest in the story of Hipgnosis’ Aubrey “Po” Powell and the late Storm Thorgerson. Doherty worked with the duo during his music industry career, giving them their first music video commission when he was managing U.K. singer Paul Young.Variety
