Together with his wife Dorothy, whom he had married in the early 1950s, he also handled the publicity for concert tours by artists like Jimmy Shand, Jim Reeves, Acker Bilk, Chris Barber and a number of jazz and dance orchestras.

In 1958, the Solomons moved to London, where they handled the publicity for a wide range of performers, like Gene Pitney, Kenneth McKellar, Louis Armstrong and Mantovani.

Solomon also started managing a group, The Bachelors, a trio from Dublin,[3] specialising in close-harmony versions of evergreens.

[3] One of the greatest successes by an artist from Solomon's stable was "Terry" by the English singer Twinkle,[3] a song about a young man killed in a motorcycle accident.

In the eyes of the BBC the song was an example of bad taste, and the station refused to broadcast it; in spite of this the record reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

Other artists under Solomon's wing were Phil Coulter,[3] the comedian Freddie Davies and the poet Pam Ayres.

Michael Pasternak, who called himself Emperor Rosko, was fired a few times by Solomon, because he refused to play Major Minor records – and re-employed by Caroline's co-director Ronan O'Rahilly.

[3] Their "Seven Drunken Nights" was banned by the BBC in 1967 (like Twinkle's record a few years before), but reached the British Top Ten nevertheless.

Such was the morality of 1969 where the parent company was primarily selling radios, televisions and white goods to the public, it was felt this record was inappropriate.)
