Mark Riddle music and pop memorabilia expert.

Our Music Memorabilia Editor

Mark Riddle is the owner of Memorabilia UK and he has been dealing and specialising in Popular Music Autographs and memorabilia of the 1950-1990s since 1998. His passion for music began as a teenager in the 70s. His first vinyl LP purchased (with his own pocket money) being the classic “Ziggy Stardust” by David Bowie in 1972. What a time to be alive for Pop Music throughout the 1970-1980s with so many genres; Prog-Rock/Glam-Rock/Teen/Funk & Soul/Disco/Ska & Reggae/Punk/New Wave/Rock/Heavy Metal through to The New Romantics....something for everybody.

In 1997 his wife Janie gave him “the final ultimatum” he had to de-clutter the house of his accumulated music memorabilia, before she did it for him.......That was the beginning of “the hobby becoming a job” and so Memorabilia UK was born and close to 30 years later I better not tell her I that i now have a lot more!
