Xposé: The Mirror Ball Maniac

Don’t miss this amazing interview with the man who has created the atmosphere and delivered the ambience of more Sleaze Ball, Mardi Gras, Red Raw and Winter Daze Parties than anyone else in history. From Count Down in the 70’s to the hedonistic glory daze of night clubs in the 90’s, Alan Parkinson has seen it all and more often than not, he was in the thick of it! At 52, Alan has returned to call Melbourne home again. Inspired, energised and quite a bit wiser, one gets the feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of Alan Parkinson’s magic in the not-too-distant future.
