Michael Chugg, 77, is Australia’s most experienced music promoter. I spoke to him on Thursday.All good. It’s been chaos, as we’ve got three new albums coming out this week.
Elton John and Michael Chugg celebrating their 60th birthdays in 2007 at Acer Arena at Sydney Olympic Park.Of course you do. Who doesn’t? But you’ve been doing this for over 60 years. Tell me about how you got into it.Well, I was 16 years old, at home in Launceston, and I put on a show to raise money for the local amateur cycling club. We ran a dance with Launceston’s top band called The Dominoes.
That must be extraordinary. You’re sitting there with the seer of our generation – the Messiah! – shooting the breeze. Do you have moments of, “This is mind-blowing, people would kill to be in this position!”Yes. It’s quite incredible. I mean, I learned very early that it was always better to be seen but not heard. So, if the artists wanted to have a chat, I was there for a chat. But I never pursued them, or presumed to initiate those sorts of situations.
