The Beat About The Bush tour took in over a hundred gigs from Land’s End to the Scottish Borders. Halfway through, Australian maverick and musician Gerard O’Farrell joined as sound engineer. Realising that the normal music business practice involving agents, fixed fees and using house PAs at each gig wasn't doing the band or the venues any favours, O’Farrell took up the reins as manager and agent. With Beer and Knightley he set up a new business model that was to become a template for musicians everywhere.
