"David Dean is a remarkable man.  He first gained my total respect some years ago now, when he was one of my Diploma of Music Business students at Sunshine Coast TAFE.  I couldn't believe it. Here was a man with a total vision impairment studying an academic diploma, and at the same time competently running his own successful booking agency.  What a guy! Since then, David and I have become close friends. I've seen him work on some remarkable industry touring projects and network with the nation's best.  David totally nurtures his artists and takes care of business honestly and admirably.  He's the only booking agent I'd put my total trust in.Long may David Dean exist in his present form, and in the myriad music industry forms of the future."
