Max Handley

Max Handley (1945–1990) was a British comedy writer. He worked on Radio Four's Week Ending and other programmes often with Tony Allen.[1] In 1988 he wrote the script for the comedy musical Quasimodo with music by Richard Rowland.[2] Between 1971 and 1974 he recorded songs at Richard Branson's Manor Studio and these were issued in 1974 on an LP, titled "Max", on Virgin's budget Caroline label imprint. A single, "Stephanie" (B-side "All I Know"), was taken from the LP and released on the Virgin label proper (as was normal for those Caroline artists that got to release singles). The album and single were credited to "Max" with the surname dropped. The Virgin label connection came about because Handley had been on the production team for Richard Branson's "Student" magazine.
