Blytham Ltd Began at The University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana campus in the mid 60's. Bob Nutt and his assistant Irving Azoff were the personal managers for The Finchly Boys, the area's biggest band. They soon added other bands like The Seeds of Doubt for personal management and then began booking many other bands. REO Speedwagon launched them on a national scale and Irving took the helm from Bob.

Today, Irving Azoof is a multi-million dollar promoter and CEO of Ticketmaster.
