A long time between ....
It’s been a little while between eNews updates! With the arts industry going through a bit of a realignment, I’ve been keeping busy on the event side of the business while also working on some great gigs.
Please get out there and enjoy some live music and theatre!
I’m also on the lookout for local musicians, entertainers, food trucks and general event staff across South West Sydney. If you know someone who might be a great fit, please get in touch or send them my way.
Back to the music - art is life!
