Career
In that period he managed a rock club called "The Heavy Metal Soundhouse", originally resident in the back-room of the Prince of Wales public house in Kingsbury, North London. This back-room venue was known as the "Bandwagon". He also helped new bands to record demos at Spaceward Studios in Cambridge.
Amongst these bands were Praying Mantis and Iron Maiden.
The resulting popularity of Iron Maiden"s recording led to a record contract. Several other NWOBHM bands also gained contracts due to their Soundhouse demos.
Kay compiled many of these demos onto an album called Metal for Muthas, of which several volumes were released. Kay was also a band manager in the 1980s and early 1990s.
