Guy Ritchie: The Music Mogul?

Madonna’s Ex Guy Ritchie is following in her footsteps by carving out a career in the music industry – well sort of.

The Sherlock Holmes director has launched his own record company Punchbowl Recording which is named after his London pub – and his fact act has been signing the venue’s house band…how random.

Previously Madonna has stated that Ritchie is a bit obsessed with the pub but this is a step to far.

The venture, however, could work out as the group are in demand with stars like actor Robert Downey Jr. and Stella McCartney booking them for private gigs.

Ritchie said: “It’s exciting to venture into the music industry. It’s a tough place but I’ve seen this band connect with people. They have every chance of being embraced by a wider audience.”

Ritchie’s Irish rockers’ debut album, Journey, is due out on 1 March.
