When COVID meant he couldn’t go as planned to Los Angeles and New York to continue his business’ expansion over there, Dom Furber returned home to Gerringong determined to use his experience to help the local live music scene.

The successful music promoter and agent, who has worked around the world and served on ARIA’s Young Leader Committee since 2017, has previously brought big name acts to Crooked River Winery festivals and Wollongong.

“It is a great time to build something big here, when there is no international touring for artists to go on,” he says.

“The local music scene shouldn’t be dependent on pokies.

“There are also some local bands that deserve a wider audience.”

Ruby Fields, one of the hottest artists around, is the next to come to town.

Originally just two shows were scheduled for The Pavilion, with a 200 seat capacity, but that was expanded to four shows when the first day sold out fast.

Shows are on 9-10 January
