Jess Henderson
Jess came on board as a Director at Fairplay in 2014 and has worked in the music industry for over 25 years. Starting out in artist management in Sydney, she spent over 3 years working for The Whitlams whilst at the peak of their fame. In the years to follow she worked as a freelance publicist, promoting numerous east coast tours and album launches.
Following this Jess worked for the National Folk Festival for over 10 years. Firstly as their HR & Volunteer Manager, then as their Design & Publications Manager and most recently as part of their programming team.
Linda Hellmich
Born in Scotland, Linda still carries a hint of an accent after becoming an Aussie a lifetime ago.
Be warned, she may or may not snort when she laughs and don’t challenge her for cash when it comes to a name that 80’s artist tune on any long road trip - you will be out of pocket!
Her first live concerts were Bucks Fizz (don’t judge her) and Wham!
She has a love of travel, reality TV shows and reading, but most of all chocolate.
Frankie Kay
Frankie Kay has diverse experience within the music industry, with a background in marketing, events, band merchandising, bookings and live music photography while working across Lizotte’s three venues between 2009 – 2015. She was a familiar face at the Avoca Beachside Markets for many years, coordinating the buskers and began working for Fairplay as a booking agent in 2015. Frankie has a passion for live music and loves to encourage new emerging artists. After a hiatus (due to covid), she returns to Fairplay and is excited to reconnect with her music industry roots.
In her spare time, Frankie loves to paint and spend time with family and friends.
