GEOFF COX

VIDEO + IMAGES

Coxy’s life in the entertainment industry has been long and varied. As a raconteur he is second to none. His talks cover TV, radio, music, advertising, travel and life in general. He is a genial speaker who can be “one of the boys” but is equally comfortable with the ladies and mixed audiences.

MUSIC

Coxy started drum lessons at 15, eventually being taught by American Show Drummer Alan Mansfield in Latin, Jazz and Rock and Roll. He turned professional playing 6 nights a week in Rock and Roll Bands as well as becoming one of the top session drummers in Australia- playing on 20+ gold albums.

In 1970

Toured New Zealand and Australia with the Bee Gees and Russell Morris..

Toured in America, Canada and Australia with the Little River Band replacing an injured Derek Pellicci.

Toured South Africa with Cliff Richard.

From 1979 until 1987 Coxy ran The Roxy, the great Rock and Roll pub in Melbourne. The catchcry “Coxy from the Roxy” in his raspy, Aussie voice on radio ads became legendary.

Coxy currently plays with Coxy & The Roxy Boys as well as other bands and session work when available. He is a freelance drummer who is available for professional gigs.

The bands are available for Corporate Events, Conferences, Weddings, Birthday Parties.

AFTER DINNER SPEAKER

FEEDBACK

"Absolutely fantastic MC! He was extremely down to earth, funny, witty and kept the attention of the audience. He was very considerate and was able to have a good laugh and chat with all those attending. He was also super helpful and accommodating, and made the night a breeze! An absolute top guy!

We’ve also received fantastic feedback about Geoff from staff & suppliers who attended the event – some of our suppliers will be looking at booking him for their events.

It was an absolute pleasure to have him at our event & we definitely look forward to booking him for future events!"

HARVEY NORMAN

"Thank you for finding such a wonderful professional MC at the last minute.

I had heard of Coxy, but hadn't realised just how popular he is.

There were so many people on the night who recognised him and wanted to talk to him.

I found Geoff to be the perfect gentlmen and a true professional.

He did an outstanding job with virtually no preparation.

I fear we are going to see him use that in one of his stand up gigs! LOL!

He was a delight to work with and I look forward to working with him again.

If he ever forgives me for the difficult script.
