Inspiration Bomb – Leesa Ellem
G’day,
I’m talking Austrayian today because I have just returned from my first ever holiday in Bali*. My sarong and Bintang singlet are in the wash and it’s back to work I go!
Yesterday for example, I spoke at the “Melbourne Women in Business Lunch”. Today I’m running both a “Creative-business workshop” and a “Right-brain singing workshop” for Bright Sparks Festival in Albury. Sunday, I’m giving a keynote at the Creative Women’s Circle (sold out)!
Lucky I love my (second) job!
My main job, however, is that of a touring musician, which involves a heck of a lot of travelling and surprisingly little sight-seeing. The road is a harsh mistress, so it’s lucky I travel with a secret weapon in the car: infamous International Tour Manager Leesa Ellem, who’s the subject of today’s “BHB Inspiration Bomb”.
When she’s not busy ironing my Bintang singlet, Leesa takes care of other musicians, like Feist and Martha Wainwright and You Am I. She cooks for her friends, trains dogs, kisses her Scottish boyfriend Alex (who would just LOVE me mentioning that), and is also a “very good driver” with incredible tattoos all over her body (decades ahead of the curve there). Leesa is not at all the kind of woman you would want to double-cross on the merch stand!
In today’s IB, Leesa offers her signature “straight up, no bollocks” insight into what it actually takes to build a career touring the world with bloody demanding rock-stars. Think it’s as glamorous as it sounds? Click below to find out!
And guess what else? Our artwork today is from the world’s BEST EVER florist-house, Cecilia Fox in Brunswick ! I KNOW!
AND GUESS WHAT ELSE? Today’s “Random Giveaway” goes to one person who comments below the IB or shares this interview on Facebook. The lucky winner will receive a copy of Beci Orpin’s brand-new forthcoming book “Home”! I DOUBLE KNOW!
Here’s cheers to the incredible Ms Leesa Ellem, Cecilia Fox and “Home”.

*My sincere thanks Bali for hosting me as only you can. Wow! We had an exceptional month, due in no short part to the hospitality of the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. You gotta check it out!
