My Guest today is Rob Carroll.

Rob Carroll is the Managing Director of a Sydney based boutique PR and management company called Rare Finds.

Rare Finds aims to foster a scene within the local indie music community as well as provide unique touring opportunities for emerging artists - specifically on the east coast of Australia.

Rare Finds specialise in digital music servicing, management, consultancy, publicity, label services, and event production.

Rare Finds is also a subsidiary of Chugg Entertainment and for those of you who don't know - Michael Chugg is a behemoth of a player in The Aussie music scene. They call Chuggy "The Godfather Of Australian Touring".

And I was actually lucky enough to interview Michael Chugg way back in episode 3 of Music Business Facts: http://www.musicbusinessfacts.net/?s=michael+chugg

Now that one is still an awesome interview but it's frigging hilarious.

Anyhow, here's my interview with Rob Carroll of Rare Finds- I hope you enjoy it.
