Circular Evolution

Established 1995 as a professional entity by Darrel Baird in Lightening Ridge NSW on Yuwaalaraay Country. Blue Tongue Management's entertainment industry journey launched in the deepend. Our first event was a large scale, multi-stage music, food and arts festival with 36 bands in 1996. This event included the booking of 5 aboriginal performance groups from NT, SA and NSW and Blue Tongue was helped by aboriginal organisation Barriekneal Housing & Community Ltd along with Walgett Shire Council and the Lightening Ridge Bowling Club.

Darrel moved to Brisbane and then Sydney and morphed into a booking agncy come artist management and promotion, took on national tour management and logistics and event management. Working with some of the biggest events and rock bands in Australia including The Angels, Ian Moss, Don Walker, Kevin Borich, Phil Emmanual, Bondi Cigars, The Radiators, ex AC/DC member Mark Evans, ex Buffalo member Dave Tice, members of Rose Tattoo and The Screaming Jets with many other great artists in varying degrees.. I was also lucky enough to work with artists at the famed Albert Strudios and with Harry Vanda at Flash Point Studio. And some of the worlds greatest Yidaki (didgeridoo) players

In 2006 Darrel was contracted by an aboriginal performance and cultural education troupe to help bring those skill sets into their business along with branding and web developement. This evolved over the years and in 2014 Darrel was contracted as operations manager, web developer, branding and corporate sales on a national and international basis.
