==Early career==
Owen Orford was a high school teacher with a BSc degree in Industrial Art and Design in the early 1970s, he left his career as an educator to become a professional rock singer. In 1972, he formed Stillwater in Sydney as a hard rock band and by the following year they had changed their name to Finch. In Finch, with Orford on lead vocals, were Peter McFarlane on drums, Bob Spencer on lead guitar, and Tony Strain on bass guitar.〔 The band toured the country extensively and over the years released a number of singles and albums, including ''Thunderbird'' in 1976. The band signed with United States Label Portrait, changing their name to Contraband due to the existence of a Dutch band with the same name. After a run of line-up changes the band split up in 1979. The following year Orford went to work at the agency that had booked his band, Harbour Premier. Orford became a booking agent, developing a roster of acts including Hoodoo Gurus, Models, Hunters & Collectors, Icehouse, Moving Pictures, The Radiators, The Cockroaches, Machinations, Kids in the Kitchen, Electric Pandas, Boom Crash Opera, Jenny Morris, Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes and Do-Re-Mi.
