Friday SpeaksEasy

Overview

Apart from being Rebecca Black's favourite day and the subject of her so-bad-its-amazing song, Friday in Brisbane is now known for Friday SpeaksEasy, an event where music industry enthusiasts can hang out, relax and talk music. We're told to think of it as happy hour for people who don’t have real jobs or are interested in that stuff. But more than that it's a convenient excuse to catch up with people who you might not ever see outside of a festival or gig and to talk to new people from other corners of the non-traditional career world.

Taking place in the relaxing confides of Alloneword's courtyard every Friday evening, Friday SpeaksEasy will feature a different interview each week with a prominent figure in the business including both local to international guests. Last week SpeaksEasy made it's Friday debut with Ben Preece of Mucho Bravado.

This week Maggie Collin from Golden District will be on hand to drink a beer and share her knowledge as a band manager (she's the manager to DZ Deathrays), a presenter (she's a regular on triple j) and music director (she once managed 4zzz).
