According to Livedesignonline.com, Production Resource Group, LLC (PRG) has named Mickey Curbishley senior vice president of its concert touring group. He will work out of PRG’s offices in Greenford, United Kingdom, and Los Angeles.
Curbishley most recently served as director of sales at the Greenford location, where he oversaw business development and client support for concert tours and special events. He began his career as a lighting technician for concert headliners including ELTON JOHN, ERIC CLAPTON, PHIL COLLINS, GEORGE HARRISON, FRANK SINATRA, JUDAS PRIEST, and AC/DC. He later managed the London office of Light and Sound Design (LSD), which was acquired in 1998 by PRG.

“Mickey has an immense amount of experience and know-how, as well as a great commitment to customer service,” says Jere Harris, chairman and founder of PRG. “As our market continues to expand throughout the world, he is precisely the right person in the right job at the right time.”
