Hmmm why isn't Sam on the corporate speaking circuit creaming it with an easy gig....tell a few war stories, heck we have speakers that can command between $4000 and $8000 per engagement in our small market of 4 million
Seems a natural fit for a retired road dog.
Heck a line up of " Sam Cutler, Richard Cole interviewed by Mick Wall" would be a good corporate night out

SKILLS - I have no idea whether Sam has tried this, but do you know how people obtain such gigs?
thanks

Yep, most major cities will have a few celebrity speaking agencies. If your looking to get into the business, or point someone, 1. Famous or Fame Associated .2 With a good story or two (At this stage content is more inportant than delivery, delivery can be worked on and a unsure speaker can go to room commander fairly swiftly with training, think of sports stars who have developed themselves, some with speech impediments, Sharpe and Strahan but a few) .3 Relatively sober

Heck!
While The Stones are in town (Melbourne), Bobby Keys is doing a show, and The Chuckster is having an overpriced Q&A. I have negative inclination to go to either of those....
But I'd pay to see Sam in the blink of an eye.
Come on Sam... The airfare from Brisbane to Melbourne isn't a lot. You could get 10 times that back!

I don't. But doesn't ROCKMAN live in Melbourne? (I am pretty much precisely in between Melbourne and Hanging Rock. Quite handy really!)
Pageing ROCKMAN?
(Anyone know how to get in touch with Sam, other than by buying a T-shirt. His former samculter.com site seems to be, ahem, unavailable.)
EDIT: OK, I guess that something would be seen via Facebook. However, as I have not succumbed to the Cult Of Facebook, someone else would have to do that.

I'm in touch with Sam, and I've let him know I posted this. If there are any actual, solid proposals for events, I'll liaison with him.

Can you check with him if he's up for it? No point if he's not the sort of person who likes Public Speaking (fair enough!)

Another type of gig might include record/memorabilia conventions (are there Rolling Stones coventions?). I once went to a "Beatles Fest" or something like that, and one of the speakers was the guy who was their chauffer in America. I mean, if the driver can get a speaking gig . . . . .

To SWISS:
If you are able to point Sam towards this type of service I'm sure he will find an appropriate outlet for his talents and tales.
here is the UK's leading service
[www.speakers.co.uk]
And in the USA
[celebrityspeakersusa.com]
Basically if Sam is able to present himself to the bookers they will take him through their systems and introduce him to a new world.
IMO - This type of speaker is an excellent evenings entertainment. Sam was in a position to witness the transition from Road Managers doing it all, to the corporate takeover of rock, this transition period and the sheer by the seat of your pants nature of the rock business in the 60's/70's would make for a good study for Business Professionals and Fans alike.
Thinking off the top of head, Sam witnessed 3 of the most significant moments in Rock, Hyde Park, Altamont (and aftermath - The Angels Stories would be golden) and obviously Woodstock.
If Sam is in Australia as per Wiki then this activity would be even easier to accomplish, as I'm in NZ and have contacts directly within the Australasian Market.
