Peter Salerno hosts Happy Business Radio on Radio Italia Uno 87.6 FM,
In this episode, your host Peter Salerno introduces his guest Glynn Nicholas
Glynn Nicholas is a busker, comedian, producer and business owner.
Glynn talks about his background as a busker, and how it is a great way to learn how to work with people, sell and keep people's attention.
Glynn explains the meaning of his name, which means valley in Welsh.
Glynn is a theatre producer and performer, and recently he was performing on a cruise ship.
His production company is about to relaunch a show next year in Adelaide called Song Contest Almost Eurovision, which is a homage to the Eurovision Song Contest.
Eurovision Song Contest started in 1952 as a way to bring together a war-torn Europe. The show is a bit like being at the finals of Eurovision, with eleven countries competing and the audience voting to decide the winner.
Glynn's company also produced a show called Eurobeat, which they toured Australia with and took to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007.
He advises young performers to go to Edinburgh with the view of breaking even, if they're lucky, but also to have a good time.
Glynn took the prototype to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and chose an 800-seater venue against most people's advice, and took 10,000 clackers, badges and flags to the show. It became the biggest-selling show of the festival and was later approached by Cameron Macintosh's right-hand man to tour the UK for 20 weeks before having a three-month run in the West End of London.
However, when the global financial crisis hit, sales for other shows plummeted but the Eurovision Show was one of the few whose sales were actually increasing.
