The Federal Court of Australia has ordered that major Australian agent Ralph Carr's touring arm, RCM Touring be "wound up in insolvency" following a hearing last week.
As The Music reported last month, local touring company Big Deal Touring filed an application against RCM, alleging it owed $120,300.
Documents obtained by The Music show that the court has ordered RCM be wound up with Andrew Spring appointed as liquidator.
Big Deal filed against the application after it provided marketing and consultancy for RCM in relation to tours including an Elvis Presley orchestra tribute run, a Priscilla Presley speaking tour and shows by AFL star Dustin Martin at Melbourne Crown Casino late last year.
While best known for representing Australian names like Dustin Martin and entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins, Carr's RCM Touring was most recently involved in a Roy Orbison hologram tour that was scheduled to go ahead this month but was cancelled in April.
Carr most recently parted ways with long-term client, singer Kate Ceberano, following a 16-year partnership.
Carr declined to comment when contacted by The Music.
EDITORS NOTE:
This story has been amended. It previously stated that RCM Touring was involved in past Tina Arena tours. This is incorrect. While Ralph Carr has previously worked as Arena's manager, RCM Touring was never associated with the Australian singer's tours.
