THE EVENTS MAN

To Whom It May Concern

Paul Barrett has been associated with most of the major events of Western Australia over the last  ten years.  In particular he has worked directly for me on the last two consecutive Christmas Pageants and the Perth Royal Show.  He also performed in the opening of the 10th API Rally Australia, an international event, and is contracted to perform at the forthcoming Rottnest Island Festival.

As producer and/or coordinator of these events I have found Paul to be extremely adaptable to work with, particularly in areas where I require high energy performances full of sound and colour.

Paul has numerous talents outside his musical attributes, including mime and cartooning which he also does well.

I take this opportunity to thank Paul for his efforts over the past years and highly recommend his talents.  I'm sure he will not disappoint anyone who contracts his services.

Yours sincerely
Russell Lanyon
The Events Man
