John Pinder (comedy Producer) - 1960s

1960s

During the late 1960s Pinder was a partner in a band management company called ‘Let It Be’ – inspired by the Beatles’ song of the same name. This “rather hippie-esque business”, as Pinder refers to it, managed Australian bands like Daddy Cool and Spectrum. His role was largely producing live shows – which led to the establishment of the T. F. Much Ballroom as a live venue. It was so successful that it established a brand that was taken on the road as The T. F. Much Rock Circus, touring with Ashtons Circus as part of the Aquarius Festival in Canberra.
