meet the team

We are more than a smile, a solution, a hub of creative ideas. We're an eclectic group of closely knit people that come from all walks of life. Who we are is what makes HGA great.

Dave Burke

I have a band called the Muppits, where I play rhythm guitar and chime in with the odd backing vocal, but my main instrument is piano and although I’ve been playing for over 20 years I’ve never owned an acoustic piano... until March 2009, when I bought my own.

Biography

Dave is responsible for all things technical and logistical in the Live Events Department. When all the ideas have been finalized from our design team, it then falls to Dave to make them a physical reality. Often there are some rather interesting logistical challenges to overcome, but it’s Dave’s job to see that each event runs smoothly. To help him achieve this he will put together a hand picked crew (sound, lighting, video, set/staging etc) for each event.

  • Match of the Day and The Apprentice and I love watching films.

  • The Beatles, Squeeze, Crowded House, Led Zeppelin… just all good music really

  • Live Ship Traders, a fantasy novel – the best form of escapism

  • Lots of places but I think Australia would be cool

I'm most proud of

Difficult to say, I'd like to think my most proud moment is yet to come.

The one thing people don't know about me is

I once recorded and produced several songs for Roy Chubby Brown.
