What was the first concert you ever attended?

Keith Jarrett at the Opera House when I was nine years old with my mum. It was the greatest jazz concert I have ever seen to this day.

You can go back in time and see any concert. Whom would you see and when?

Michael Jackson, Thriller era.

What’s the single biggest change in a manager’s responsibilities since you started in the biz?

Management has become all encompassing. You are a commercial and creative partner from the jump, everything has to move together at the same time. You have to find somebody you can balance strengths and weaknesses with, filling in the blanks to scale and build a culture with the artist.
