Reception
"Possibly the most famous person you've never heard of," reviewed Dan Carrier, Camden New Journal, in April, 2013. "The Promoter makes clear that boring is perhaps the one thing this 56-year-old is not. Documenting his past infamy as a nightclub promoter who could have shocked Iggy Pop into sobriety, director Ed Edwards also captures the modern-day Pereno at a creative peak, before disaster inevitably strikes," said - Alex Bellotti of the Hampstead & Highgate Express, 16 May 2013.
