Fortuna POP! was an English independent record label based in London, started in 1995 by Sean Price.[1][2] It specialised in indie pop music.


Fortuna POP! previously promoted gigs under the banner of The Beat Hotel and then Basement Scam at the Buffalo Bar in Highbury, London and then promoted events under their own name.[3] The label has been called an "indie institution".[4]


On 31 July 2016, initially via a full page statement in the programme of that summer's Indietracks festival, the label announced that it was to be shut down.[5]


The label was home to both previously established underground acts, such as Darren Hayman, the Wave Pictures or Comet Gain, and breakthrough bands such as The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Evans The Death, or The Spook School.[6]

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
