Paul Muggleston .... an entertainment career now entering its seventh decade

on with Paul's career

Late in 1969 Paul headed off to Australia, playing around that country for 2 years.  It was a well timed trip as the group at Hosies Hotel Flinders street in Melbourne had just lost their lead guitarist and back up vocalist and drummer Graham Hanham was familiar with Paul's history and offered him the job.  It lasted some four months before Paul and the bass player along with Graham went on the road gigging around Victoria. It was short lived and Paul departed to Perth in Western Australia and joined the Bean Birrell Advertising Agency and then Advertising and Marketing Aids headed up by Tony Vines as copy writer and Jingle creator.  Major Campaigns were Sun City (Alan Bond), and the Western Australian Building Society WABS.  After a year it was over to Sydney with girlfriend Fran Norman and then back to Auckland New Zealand, writing commercials and modelling for the June Daly Watkins Agency, as well as singing some floorshows and acting with the NZBC Theatre.  He was also the voice of Snapper Jones, the local fishing expert.  Paul's relationship with Fran ended in May of 1973 shortly before he headed down to Christchurch to join the Radio Avon team, as the midnight-to-dawn jockey.
