Event Management
Sometimes the best way to get your product, service or business noticed is make it a special event. With my experience in event management and festival directorships, we can get the show on the road. Just send me the details and we can make it happen.

South African Singing Tour - 1998
On the success of the Australian Gospel Tour (see below), Valanga Khoza asked me to organise a smaller tour of 12 people to South Africa. This two week tour included airfares, transport, itineraries and entertainment in various town towns and cultural groups.
Australian Gospel (Singing) Tour - 1995
This tour was the first of it's kind. Working with renowned musician Tony Backhouse, we organised a group of 22 people to tour the Black Baptist Churches of New Orleans, Memphis and Birmingham Alabama. The three week tour included airfares, transport, itineraries and social entertainment. For many participants, this was a ground breaking tour. Not only did the group perform songs that had originated from the deep south, but the bond of bringing those songs back to their homeland was very moving.
