Managers Embark on South Island Tour

15th July 2004

After another completely incidental reshuffle of members, the Managers have come up yet again with another line-up.

They have a brand new drummer, Simon, whilst lead guitarist Rob has departed after a good innings with the band; he wants to spend more time on his own projects. Lead singer Paul 'Hooligan' Frewin has taken up the keyboard and the guitar to compensate for Rob's absence. Saxophonist Blaine has had to return to America where he is eagerly trying to get his emigration to New Zealand sorted out.

This new line-up is about to embark on a South Island tour, which includes the inaugural South Island performance of the Managers' Sound System, on one night only at the jet Set Lounge in Christchurch. There is no cover charge.

North Island and this will be scheduled for September and October.
