Black Frog is run by a Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Fan with a passion for working alongside up and coming and established bands to help them where needed.. Black Frog started life in New Zealand on February 10th 2010 with the first gig being organised in 3 weeks for Save the Children for their work in Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake, $700 was raised. If you check out the Black Frog 1.0 gig poster a
lbum that is all the Black Frog shows that were run during 2010-2018 while in New Zealand and Australia. Prior to Black Frog I cut my teeth volunteering on other events – doing flyer drops, working the door and merch tables more times than I can count as well as stage managing many gigs and festivals. I also worked a lot in the mainstream music world on the NZ Music Awards for three years and one of the largest New Years Festivals in the world – Northern Bass Festival. Originally Black Frog’s goal was world domination for New Zealand bands but after spending most of 2018 couch surfing the UK and European Metal community I’ve fallen in love with the people and bands in the Northern Hemisphere which lead me in 2019 to doing two North American/Canada tours behind the merch desk as well as numerous European shows and Festivals – which is how I’ve found myself now settling in England... of course looking forward to the day the world opens up again and I can bring my favourite New Zealand and Australian bands to tour the UK, Europe and beyond with my new family of bands here - and of course taking my new family down under to play with my first musical family! Having had 6 months of Lockdown in England has made me realise how much I NEED music – to me it’s like eating and breathing, I need it to survive. Which is why I have decided to start up Black Frog again and start to work with a new family of bands in my new country and beyond. I bring to you Black Frog 2.0
