In the process he met Bruce Allen, a more senior music business entrepreneur, who was booking bands in many of the local nightclubs, including the Daisy.

The business catered to musicians on the Canadian West Coast and found early success in managing bands such as Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Trooper, Prism, and Doug and the Slugs.

He and Allen continued to be equal partners in their parent company, A&F Music Ltd.[5][13] Feldman maintained other business interests in the entertainment industry, including a number of nightclubs in the greater Vancouver area.
