I first met Bill in August 2013, he met me and interviewed me for a book he is writing. Bill was amazing, putting me at ease, asked the right questions and treated me with an enormous amount of respect in regards to my condition of 'terminal cancer'. Bill asked a question that still makes me smile, he was concerned about my family. So not only was he a true professional, he showed a caring compassionate side for me and for my family, he knew what was important, he still does. I was able to get a few things off my chest that id kept bottled up, he found a way to let that happen, he knew what he was doing! A few days later i had a gathering for my friends, Bill said he'd like to come, he did, he turned up, mixed in with my friends like he had been one for years, not 3 days! He is an infectious soul, a man of his word which means his work is nothing but brilliant and honest. Its a pleasure to call Bill a friend now! Craig Coombes Aquaintance turned Friend

Bill Quinn is the 'real thing'. Real support for hard working bands and performers, real passion for live music, real talent behind the microphone. When Bill interviews an act, MC's at a festival, promotes the music he loves, people stop and listen - because it's real and from the heart. I speak from personal experience. Bill has never stopped supporting Grimick from the first time he saw us perform. Thanks Bill, it's a delight to catch up with you at any festival. Your passion and love for music is infectious. Cheers, Griff (Grimck) Griff Griffiths Singer/songwriter - Grimick

What sets Bill Quinn apart from many of his peers in the media is his grass roots involvement, and understanding of the inner sanctum of music, arts, and culture. Over the years, I have seen Bill in roles as an MC, managing people, timetables, event logistics, and media production. He is an avid and passsionate supporter of the arts, and has a knowledge and unique perception second to none. His contribution to Australian music is tireless. He's one of those people that has done everything for many weeks and months before you get to a show or event that you loved. We need more Bills in the Australian music industry!

I think what Bill has brought to the table when writing for Timber and Steel, and in particular interviewing artists for the site, is the right mix of passion and professionalism. Bill is able to get artists to open up because he truly is a fan of their music, while still managing to deliver work that is of the highest standards. I'm really proud to have Bill Quinn as a contributor on Timber and Steel. Gareth Hugh Evans Editor in Chief, Timber and Steel

I have known Bill for many years now as an MC at the biggest Folk Festivals in Australia and as a Radio personality in Canberra. His knowledge of music is immense and he has great respect for all musicians and their craft. Simply put Bill is THE best MC and Radio dJ... bar none....and a real gentleman too. Its always a pleasure working with Bill. tony pyrzakowski Fiddler with the Wheeze and Suck band, Kelly's heroes, Hooper an

Bill Quinn has worked with the Vagabond Crew helping to promote couple of our gigs. Suffice to say he "gets it". And he follows through. And he doesn't give up. We'd be more than happy to work with him again -- in fact we probably will. John Schumann Ex-Redgum, currently with John Schumann and Vagabond Crew

I found in Bill an inspiring, motivational, and creative leader when it comes to project management and event production. A veritable powerhouse of communication beyond the mere gift of gab, his talent for connecting with people and his thorough approach in all his dealings is priceless.

The man with pizzazz! And a beautiful booming voice to go with it. That's what you need in an MC who, let's face it, can make or break your all important event! I wouldn't take any chances, I would go straight to Bill because he is the man with it all. Not only does he have the personality (and the good looks!) but he cares about your result. Don't take a risk with others, see Bill Quinn at Overheard Productions...post haste! Lee Corrigan Owner, Canberra Secretarial Services
