AS part of its popular business luncheon series, Gold Coast Business News will present high-profile Australian artist manager and entertainment industry executive Glenn Wheatley.

No stranger to controversy, as one of Australia’s best known music promoters and talent agents, Wheatley has been involved in every aspect of the music industry in his lengthy career.

For more than four decades Glenn Wheatley has been known on the Australian music scene as both the bass guitarist of the 1960s Australian pop group The Masters Apprentices, and more prominently as a successful music manager whose clients have included John Farnham, The Little River Band and Delta Goodrem.

But in 2005, he hit the front pages for more infamous exploits—as a key suspect in the Australian Tax Office’s Project Wickenby.

After raids on his home and a gruelling court case in which the DPP reneged on a non-custodial sentence in return for his co-operation, Glenn Wheatley found himself sentenced to 15 months’ jail.

The experience has only made him stronger and now Wheatley is back the game and ready to face the music.

This is your opportunity to get a rare insight into one of Australia’s leading music promoters.

Taking place on September 16 at RACV Royal Pines Resort.
