SoundGirls Living History Project - Tana Douglas - Interviewed by Juliet (Surely Lorraine) Tana Douglas is known as the first woman roadie and got her start working in Production in 1973 when Philippe Petit rigged a steel cable between the towers at the northern entrance to the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Without realizing it she had just done her first gig. This was followed by a meeting with a well-known Australian Tour manager Wane “Swampy” Jarvis, who piqued her interest in the production side of the Music Industry. This led to her first paying gig with a band called Fox, setting up and looking after their stage equipment known as the backline. After taking that job and relocating to Melbourne, an offer to work for a different band came along in the middle of 1974. This band was AC/DC. Throughout Tana's four-decade career she has worked in backline, sound, lights, logistics, production, and tour management. More on Tana Douglas https://soundgirls.org/ground-breaker...
