Cath Haridy; All Flair, No Floss

It's both frightening and heartwarming to know that I've known Cath Haridy for 25 years. She began working with me firstly at Warner Music as my assistant before we both moved over to Festival Mushroom in the late 90's to start a new label imprint called SPUTNIK. From very early on is those formative years I could tell that Cath was a 'stayer' in this business. She cut her teeth and excelled in all facets of the business of artist development and A&R, but what shone through (and still does) is her passion and love for Australian music. She is fiercely loyal, hard working, supremely switched on and she can hold a conversation with anyone in the business, no matter what level they are on. Most of all, though, she knows how to treat and work with artists. Watching her develop and grow Eskimo Joe almost singlehandedly as one example, almost feels like watching a lesson in proper Artist Management in real time! This is a must-listen interview for all aspiring managers from someone who taught me more than what I taught them over the years!
