Ashley Page, the manager of Broods, Joel Little, Jarryd James and Alex Hope, has taken out the award for manager of the year, at the 2016 NZ Music Managers Awards, held last night at the Tuning Fork in Auckland.
Other key awards went to Marlon Williams' manager Alastair Burns, who
received Breakthrough Manager of the Year, and the International Achievement Award, while Tami Neilson took away the award for Self-Managed Artist of the Year, Mel Parsons was awarded Best independent Tour, and Teresa Patterson was given the Industry Champion Award.
The Studio was voted Best Large Venue for the first time, while The Tuning Fork was awarded Best Small Venue.
It's the second year in a row Page has received the award, and we asked him a few quick questions about his ongoing success.
How does it feel to take the top spot for the second year running?
