This story is one hell of a ride. John Woodruff has played many roles over the years. From agent to manager to venue proprietor to music publisher to record label owner to magazine publisher. After experiencing success in the 70s and 80s through booking and management - in particular with The Angels - it was in the 90s that this converted into global success with John as manager of rock group The Baby Animals and then pop superstars Savage Garden. In Part 1 of this rare conversation, Peter and John look at the days starting out in Adelaide, the changing face of booking and management that John helped create in the 70s via Dirty Pool Management and the heady days of The Angels including their appearance at the Narara '83 music festival.
