About Jeff Pattison

I have been involved in the entertainment industry for over 35 years as a Singer, Guitarist, Keyboard Player, Manager and Agent.In the early 1980's my band toured 5 states and shared the stage with such acts as Pseudo Echo and Wang Chung. I was co-founder of the duo 'Vice Versa' in 1988 and in 1992, formed successful duo ‘The Guilty Party’ which is still going strong today. During the 1990's I played many solo gigs including performing six nights a week on the Spirit Of Tasmania and at the MCG for the 1995 AFL Grand Final lunch hosted by the Sydney Swans. Later that decade, I ventured into children's entertainment. I made regular appearances at the Royal Children's Hospital as well as a concert tour with Humphrey B. Bear and a guest spot on Gerry Gee's television show with my children's duo,'The Jelly Donuts'.The were solid for 'The Guilty Party' performing 3 to 4 nights a week with many successful residencies. Playing to around 1,200 people at Etihad Stadium for a North Melbourne FC after match gathering was quite a buzz for a 2-piece band as was our performance at Crown Palladium.Another project of mine during this time was the Tribute Show "P!NK goes GAGA'. Many, many hours mixing and re-mixing tracks, designing light shows etc. paid off with numerous sold-out shows around Melbourne.In 2012 I took over the entertainment agency 'Tasman Talent' which was established in 1977. Owning and operating this company has been the biggest change in direction for me since turning professional back in the mid 80's. I have met some wonderful people through the agency and look forward to meeting many more in the years to come.
