  • Cath Haridy; All Flair, No Floss

    Cath Haridy; All Flair, No Floss
    Aug 13 2024
    It's both frightening and heartwarming to know that I've known Cath Haridy for 25 years. She began working with me firstly at Warner Music as my assistant before we both moved over to Festival Mushroom in the late 90's to start a new label imprint called SPUTNIK. From very early on is those formative years I could tell that Cath was a 'stayer' in this business. She cut her teeth and excelled in all facets of the business of artist development and A&R, but what shone through (and still does) is her passion and love for Australian music. She is fiercely loyal, hard working, supremely switched on and she can hold a conversation with anyone in the business, no matter what level they are on. Most of all, though, she knows how to treat and work with artists. Watching her develop and grow Eskimo Joe almost singlehandedly as one example, almost feels like watching a lesson in proper Artist Management in real time! This is a must-listen interview for all aspiring managers from someone who taught me more than what I taught them over the years!

    Bec Young and Sarah Hamilton; One of One Equals Three
    Jul 30 2024

    It's a case of Double Delight on Vinyl Tap this week with two of the brightest and best young female music executives in the country right now!

    Sarah Hamilton is a veteran of the digital music space. As an early adopter of digital music, Sarah started at Myspace at a time when no one really cared that much about it before ending up at DITTO where she ran the show for a considerable amount of time. If you want to know about how to self release, then look no further than Sarah.

    Bec Young is a woman of taste and this is reflected in the roster she represents as both a live agent and a Director of Collective Artists. Her roster is immense and is about as eclectic as you can get right now- Julia Jacklin, Sarah Blasko, Tia Gostelow, Emma Donovan and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever are just some of the names she has helped along the way.

    And together they are responsible for forming ONE OF ONE, a charity/platform and website that celebrates women and people for their achievements in the music industry. It is fast becoming a powerful voice and one that has no intention of staying quiet.

    Listen in as Sarah and Bec discuss their professional lives, what they think of the current state of play and also what's in store for ONE OF ONE in 2024 and beyond.

    Josh Simons; The Pivot Master
    Jul 9 2024
    Season 3 kicks off with my BIG THINKERS series and the first duck in the pond is Josh Simons, the CEO of Vinyl Group. Josh started his music career as a professional musician. His band 'Buchanan' had considerable success but it was while he was contemplating his long term future for his band that he came up with the idea for Vampr - think Linkedin for music creatives! His quest for success with Vampr lead him on a journey to the US where he continued to finesse the tech and to raise more money. COVID then got in the way which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Josh had bigger idea's and decided to make Vampr a sum of a bigger part. First he went and brought JAXTA - the IDMB for Music- and then Brag Media (home to Rolling Stone and themusic.com) to sit alongside Vampr. Combined the company is now known as the VINYL GROUP- the first ASX-listed music company in Australia. So what's next for Josh and his vision for the new company???

    Jul 2 2024

    Richard Bron comes from Rock Royal stock in the UK. His grandfather was one of the UK's first music publishers and his father Gerry signed and recorded some of the most seminal British bands of all time- Uriah Heap, The Damned and the legendary Motorhead to name a key few.

    Richard himself has done the hard yards having first moved to New York as a 16 year old to head up Bronze Records. a JV he established with the the legendary Chris Blackwell of Island Records fame. He has worked in all facets of the business- Recording, Management, Publishing and Concert Promotion- and some of the names under his umbrella (besides motorhead of course) include Def Leppard, Robbie William and Metallica.

    What's most impressive about Richard other than the fact that he saw Elvis LIVE in Vegas and hung with Bob Marley in the UK, is the fact that he pivoted into the digital world well before most of his peers and is now regarded as one of the foremost thought leaders on the convergence of media, entertainment and technology. Today, he has been developing the most advanced Free Roaming Hyper Reality Business in the world and he belives LIVE music is heading down an inevitable and interesting road.

  • Emma Banks; The Agents' Agent

    Emma Banks; The Agents' Agent
    Jun 25 2024

    When I think of the world's biggest and most successful agents , it's hard to go past Emma Banks. As Co-Head of CAA UK, Emma is responsible for a roster that includes Muse, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lorde, Green Day and our very own Kylie Minogue. And for all the wonderful and well deserved awards that she has earned over the years (She's a 10 x winner of Poll Stars UK Agent Of The Year for starters), it's important to note that Emma has not only paid her dues but she is responsible for breaking some of the most important and legendary acts of all time. Her story about discovering Jeff Buckley before anyone really knew he existed is only but one of many she has in her arsenal of tales and anecdotes from her long and illustrious career. When she's not sleeping, Emma also finds time to sit on the board of Luton Town FC in the English Championship League as well as breeding race horses, a passion she has had since she was a kid. To say that she doesn't do things by half would be a proper understatement.

    In this interview, Emma gets candid about her history and also her thoughts on where the global live music industry is heading.

  • Korda Marshall; King Korda

    Korda Marshall; King Korda
    Jun 18 2024
    Korda Marshall is an A&R King amongst Kings in the UK and a long term player in the global music industry. He has owned his own label (Infectious), run other indie labels (Mushroom UK) as well as a major label (Warner Music UK) and along the way has had major success at every step. His ethos is imbedded in a punk rock style attitude in that he has always defied convention and the so called rules of the game, but at the very core of what he does so well is his ability to spot talent. Whether it was finding Take That at a time that no one believed in them or the time that he took a chance on a young Irish pop punk trio in Ash or when he steered the global careers of Muse, Garbage and our very own Temper Trap, the fact remains- it was achieved on his terms and on his creative watch. In this interview, he gives us a real insight into his inner thoughts about the industry, his place in it and what he aims to achieve as the head of Mushroom Group of Labels in the UK.
