Simon Napier-Bell is a living legend in the global music industry. I was fortunate enough to meet him at the 'Big Sound' conference in Brisbane earlier this year and when he agreed to an interview, I didn't waste any time.

My next guest on Vinyl Tap; Inside The Music Industry is one of my favourite music executives in the world, let alone Australia.

In Episode 4 of Vinyl Tap; Inside The Music Industry, I was fortunate enough to wax lyrical with one of the best artist managers Australia has ever produced.

Combined, his artists such as Silverchair, Missy Higgins, Wolfmother, Pete Murray, Gotye, The Presets and Birds of Tokyo have sold over 20 million a...

In Episode 3 of Vinyl Tap; Inside The Music Industry, I talk to the effervescent Queen of Music Broadcasting, Ms Jane Gazzo. Jane's CV is astonishing.
