Kathy McCabe (Aust) - Daily Telegraph music editor Kathy McCabe has been a professional gig pig since her ex-boyfriend decided to chuck in the music writing business to go backpacking in 1989. Silly boy - she got the job and has kept it ever since with two major detours. The first was to EMI Virgin in 1996 to kick start their local music roster which had been dormant for a couple of years. After signing Alex Lloyd, McCabe decided she was of better use back on the media side of the fence where she could do more to promote and support Australian musicians. And enjoy the occasional chat with an international superstar. After working as the entertainment writer and music editor for the Sunday Telegraph for five years, she returned to her old stomping ground at The Daily Telegraph in 2003.
Carney Nir (Aust) - Carney is New Media Manager for Secret Service Artist Management (Powderfinger, The Grates, Yves Klein Blue) and Dew Process Recordings (Sarah Blasko, The Panics, The Living End, Bluejuice), working on all facets of an artist’s digital campaign for both album releases and tours.

In 1978 he joined Solo Premier promoting pub dates that nobody else wanted. Since then, he’s gone on to work with The Angels and Cold Chisel both here and overseas. In 1984 he formed Bottom Line Touring where he promoted both local and international artists, Australian Made with MMA and all of INXS’ Australian tours. As well, he managed Jimmy Barnes. In the 1990’s he worked at Sony (Head of Marketing, Australian Artists) and Warner Music (Australian Artists Department covering every aspect from A&R to marketing). In 2000, he left Warner to produce the ARIA Awards which he has done for the last 9 years. In that time he also co-produced and co-promoted the Wave Aid, Live Earth and Sound Relief concerts here in Australia.
Mark Poston (Aust) - Mark's passion is music - so much so it's likely to be found in his DNA one day. He has worked in music since 1989, in a number of roles from running a record store to working in various roles at labels including Sony and BMG - working with many Australian and International artists and managers. By the time he turned 30 he was Head of Capitol Records at EMI Australia working with artists such as Silverchair, Coldplay, Jet, Keith Urban, Paul Mac, Robbie Williams, The Living End, Kasey Chambers, John Williamson, The Finn Brothers and Gorillaz.
