Ann-Marie Farlow

Although, since they're going vocals for this anyway, there's plenty of recent experience in live karaoke around Sydney

With a depth of experience on transport infrastructure projects, by day, she's ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget. But when the sun goes down, Ama steps into a whole different rhythm as she takes her place behind the drum kit.  Balancing sticks and spreadsheets, she keeps the rhythm tight and deadlines even tighter.
