Today on Audio Culture we pay tribute to wāhine toa Lorraine Barry, who sadly passed over the weekend. Manager to Dave Dobbyn, Tom Scott and countless other artists, and an absolute force in the Aotearoa music scene - Gareth Shute came up to the studio to chat with Nick and Rosetta about Lorraine's impact. The trio chat about Lorraine's Northern Irish roots and involvement with global icons The Spice Girls, what brought her to Aotearoa, and her commitment to mentoring emerging industry professionals through organisations such as MMF. Lorraine features in AudioCulture's article Five Wāhine Toa of The Industry.

Thanks to AudioCulture.
