"The Old Tin Shed" Where it all began
Max
Moore
Some
Days are Diamonds – Published
There are many unsung heroes in the
cut-throat world of entertainment — the behind-the-scenes men and women
who work tirelessly to make the 'stars' look like stars without seeking
fame and glory for themselves.
Mention the
name of international legends, such as Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong,
Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Buddy Holly, The Everly
Brothers, The Rolling Stones,
Roy Orbison, Shirley Bassey,
John Denver, Bruce Springsteen, and some of
Australia's greatest talent, such as Col Joye,
Johnny O'Keefe, John Farnham, Rolf Harris, Peter Allen, Little Pattie, Judy Stone and Sandy Scott, and the name Max
Moore sits in the background as Australian tour manager for all of these
illustrious performers.
And
behind the entrepreneurial skills of Lee Gordon, Harry M. Miller and Kevin
Jacobsen, there is also one common denominator — Max
His story is an
insider's look at an era of live entertainment that was ground-breaking,
often harrowing, always exciting and truly unforgettable. It is a
chronicle of show business in
Many of the 'stars' in his care have
acknowledged his contribution with gestures of gratitude throughout the
years, fully aware of the fact that on tour they may have flown 'higher
than an eagle; but, without doubt, Max Moore was 'the wind beneath their
wings'.
All Aussies could relate to the
stories Max has included in his incredible autobiography, Some Days are
Diamonds.
This is the story of Max Moore, the
tour manager, the highs, the lows, the disasters and the good times and it
is the story of a larrikin who is able to call some of the greatest names
in entertainment his friends. He tells his stories as
they happened, but with an amazing sense of humour.

Book Reviews
Some Days are Diamonds by Max Moore is the true story of the man behind the Australian entertainment industry for forty years. Max writes about his fond memories when he was tour manager for John Denver’s Australian tours. This book is a wonderful insight into the Australian entertainment industry in the early days. A book well worth reading. My rating 9/10

What can one say about Max Moore? Max has got to be one the sweetest people I have ever met,he is funny, clever, kind and a true friend. Reading his book has opened my eyes, to the trial's and tribulations, fun & disappointments in his life.It showed me no matter what happened and what he had to do the show must go on.I have laughed & cried reading Some Days are Diamonds. Max you are Australia's unsung Hero. It is an honour to call you friend. I Highly recommend this book to everyone. You not only get to know Max but you also learn how Lee Gordon & Max Moore changed the Australian Music scene. My Rating 10/10
