Listening to, promoting, organising, playing and touring music in Australia and abroad. Getting out and about in the local scene (music that is...) and discovering new areas of the biz. The law and the legal side of the industry, networking and letting it all hang out. I love a good scotch, a fine red wine and a gin & tonic (generally not at the same time though...)
Anyone interested in promoting, supporting, booking, recording, touring and publishing Aussie music. Especially other managers or music industry folk, bands, musos and die hard fans. Anyone really. And people who like ice cream

Which fucked-up genius composer are you?
Tom Waits... charismatic story-teller with a penchant for freaky people and unusual settings. You thrive on the concept of the underdog coming out on top.
