Hamish & Andy on the art of contract negotiation

Hamish and Andy in 2009

And so to the Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs) where the talk of the night was the continued speculation around radio duo Hamish and Andy’s future with Southern Cross Austereo next year.

Indeed it was the pair themselves, also the hosts for the night, who fuelled that speculation confirming to the ballroom of 1,200 people in Melbourne that they were indeed in negotiations but that they had a few demands.

They then produced what appeared to be a phonebook titled “Hamish and Andy’s contract demands” with Blake declaring, tongue firmly in cheek, “these all have to be met.”
