Gudinski, who is responsible for touring some of the biggest international artists in Australia, including The Rolling Stones’ controversial 2014 tour, became a household name in the 1970s with his label Mushroom Records, and Frontier Touring.
Today, Mushroom Group is the largest independent music and entertainment group in Australia and New Zealand, comprised of companies covering the full spectrum of services within the music industry, including live venues, concert promotion, merchandise, publishing, artist management and marketing.
Gudinski will share the story of his 40-year journey to the top in an interview with Stuart Coupe – the veteran Aussie rock writer and former band manager of The Hoodoo Gurus and Paul Kelly. Last year, Coupe released his biography of Gudinski – ‘Gudinski – the Godfather of Australian Music’.
