Emmanuel “Manny” Kyriakidis co-founded Pushworth in 1991 and has spent a lifetime inside the machinery of live entertainment — on stages, in boardrooms, and across pub floors nationwide. His background spans classical training, original bands, touring circuits and national entertainment management. He has helped shape the careers of major Australian artists and produced large-scale festivals and civic events, but his real authority lies in understanding how entertainment performs inside hospitality environments.

Manny is the go-to advisor for venues that want more than a band on a stage. He reads market cycles, demographic shifts and trading patterns with a long-view lens. He curates programs that elevate culture, protect brand reputation and drive sustainable revenue — not short-term noise. When venues want clarity, strategy and decisive action, they call Manny.
