Summary
Today I sit down with a legend in the Music Merch world Mr Norman Perry president of Perryscope Productions.
Norman started out back in his early teens booking bands at the High School dances eventually working his way up to be one of the great Canadian concert promoters.
In 1980 he was the Promoter for the AC/DC Back In Black tour through Canada so that right away made me want to talk to him but there is so much more.
Norman went from Concert Promotion to Concert Merchandiser working with another legend Michael Cohl at a company called Brockum.
These days Norman has an incredible company called Perryscope Productions where they do Music Licensing for acts like Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The Band, Bon Scott, Genesis, Miles Davis and so much more.
Normans music knowledge and stories are next level so tune in and take the ride.
Have a great week and don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on iTunes and Youtube.
Thank You
