Festival Records Pyrmont

A dedicated website for the celebration, collection of historical photos / video and communication of previous staff of Festival Records. 

This site will show previous reunions and upcoming events such as milestones of the company and reunions in the future. It will also update the list of deceased employees and funeral notices.

This site is run, built and controlled by Glenn Aird (DJ MAGOO)  a passionate and dedicated Festival Studio employee from 1986 - 2001. Barry Nagel and Bill Hoey employed me based on my youth at 16 years old, passion for Australian music, running my own DJ business at the time but most of all being able to program a VCR and microwave clock without reading the manual. I was ready for the new age of digital studio electronics and digital equipment in the world of music post production at Festival Records Pyrmont.

If you are an employee or artist that was signed or distributed from Festival Records over the years and wish to share your images and stories, I would love to hear from you, please contact me.
Celebrate the 65 Anniversary Festival Reunion Dinner of when it all began, have a meal and drink with the old team of workers in October 2017.

This site takes many hours to collect data, restore photographs and video, any help in adding content is encouraged.

regards Glenn Aird.

I am always happy to talk with any of my colleagues from Festival Records from past years.
I was employed from 1986 until close in November 2001 at Festival Studio in Bulwara Road Pyrmont. I know I missed a lot of fun times that happened way before me, but i had many fun times while I was with the company and made many friends that worked in my previous years.
I wish to keep our memories alive of the Festival Records family during the good and bad times of this great Australian music company.
I am happy to come and visit you to document your memories and scan your photos to be shared on this website and/or at future Festival Records reunions.

This site is ready for all your fun photos, fantastic stories at the office, sales conferences, meet & greets, bbq's, sporting company matches, Christmas parties, on the road as a sales rep or dealings with artists local & international distributed by Festival Records.
This site takes many hours to collect & restore images and video. A small donation for the updating and running cost can be made by clicking here, a Go Fund Me account.

Make sure to update me with your current email if it has recently changed.

Looking forward to hearing from you all soon. Glenn Aird / DJ MAGOO (p) 0417488 657
