Guy produced and developed girl band, Beau-t, and helped get them signed to Andros Goergiou Management who in turn got them signed to Universal Records. Whilst involved with BEAU-T, Guy, along with Tara, wrote thirty songs and produced two albums. Guy also set up and directed their backing band and acted as musical director - he also played bass, acoustic and lead guitars on the track, "That's What I'll Be". Guy also produced several videos and it was that whole package of music and videos that caught the attention of Andros who was looking for the next "big" girl band at the time. As Beau-T's lead singer, Tara Lea, comments: "Me and the other girls came into Guy's studio two years before we got signed, and he completely turned us about! We were acting like all the other girl bands out there and concentrating more on our dancing style and image than our actual ability to sing. Guy taught us harmony and projection and developed our sound: we went from sounding like a female "Backstreet Boys" to kick ass rock chicks with this big guitar band!" Sadly, due to politics inside the band and the slow decay of the UK music industry, the band got dropped just three weeks before the release of the first single. It was a horrid time, but at least they can say they so nearly made it and have lots of stories to tell about their brief time being wined and dined, having expensive haircuts, being driven around in limos, let alone a full-scale Universal Records video production undertaken as part of producing the single that was to be released onto the charts. Though Guy is very modest about his contribution, the band admit that Guy's involvement had a lot to do with their very close shave with success. Band members from left to right were:
