TESTIMONIALS
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jess Beston for over 10 years in my role as a booking agent. She is a passionate, articulate and driven professional and someone I feel very lucky to have worked & collaborated with. We worked hard to see an artist (Holy Holy) grow from humble beginnings to the biggest stages in the country & countless major festival events, and creative achievements and successes. On top of this, Jess is a genuine, thoughtful and caring person who works so hard, it makes it a delight to be involved with her. Having worked with Jess & Adam on hundreds of shows across the country, you would be hard pressed to find a better team to work with on your event.”

“10PM is a Sydney-based production and events management company providing tour management, event and festival production, PA hire, and technical solutions for touring artists. Their inventory includes premium audio equipment such as sound desks, in-ear monitoring systems and professional PA setups, and they are a trusted partner for artists, managers and events seeking reliable and creative production support.
I’ve worked with 10PM on a range of projects over the past four years, and with the company’s founders, Adam and Jess, for more than a decade.
Adam is, in my opinion, the best front of house engineer, tour manager and production manager in the country. He is extremely organised and strategic, with strong relationships and contacts worldwide, which he uses to benefit the projects he works on. He is always calm, professional, and a joy to work with. On top of that, his live mixes are the best I’ve heard from any engineer I’ve worked alongside – that combination of technical skill, artistic taste and temperament is rare. Adam has a deep understanding of touring, production, and evolving approaches to live sound, and he is able to advise and support projects to achieve their outcomes creatively, practically and financially.
Jess Beston is an immensely experienced manager and music industry professional. She has deep connections across the industry with labels, press, radio and media, and is a senior expert in project management within the creative industries. Jess’ strengths are in maintaining oversight of detail, managing large and complex projects and timelines, and using her network to gather support and resources. She works calmly and effectively in challenging and unstable environments, bringing clarity and stability to projects of all scales.
Together, Adam and Jess, through 10PM, represent a powerful combination of skills, resources and connections. Their complementary expertise in production, touring, project management and industry strategy makes them outstanding partners, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly in project management, events and production.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Jess Beston for over 20 years, first at Universal Music and later through her management company Tiny Monster. Jess is one of the most passionate, dedicated, results driven and detail-oriented people I’ve ever worked with. From managing a band that grew from playing tiny venues to selling out theatres and headlining festivals, multiple award nominations and their music receiving critical acclaim, she has proven time and again that she leaves no stone unturned and always goes above and beyond.
Jess gets things done, explores every possibility, and truly knows the music industry inside and out. She’s also not afraid to roll up her sleeves and do whatever it takes to deliver.
Now, teaming up with Adam, who I know through his outstanding work with bands such as Boy & Bear and Holy Holy, they make an exceptional duo. Adam is detailed, meticulous, and a true sound and production guru — calm under pressure, and the one you can rely on to solve any issue. Together, they bring complementary skills, deep industry knowledge, and absolute trustworthiness. I would have complete confidence engaging them on any project — they are a remarkable team who consistently deliver results.”

“I’ve been working with 10PM pretty much my whole music touring life, which in itself is very rare. Most artists' teams, crew & members will change, but one of the few constants in my career is 10PM. I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone that they've worked with once is still working with them today. When they take care of production, advancing and logistics, it is one of the few areas I don't ever need to worry about. Everything always runs smoothly and works within your budget. On a personal level, Adam is one of the most kind hearted people I know, he’s like a big brother to me and all the surfshirts.”

“Adam Hignett and the team at 10PM are absolutely fantastic to work with and have been for the past 4-5 years. They make touring with Boy & Bear’s 9-person tour party and hefty production incredibly comfortable, helping the band bring their live show through headline venues and major festivals professionally and with high-quality.
Their incredible minds and calm professionalism means nothing seems to phase them. They consistently take the lead on the advancing process and on-ground logistics, which is invaluable. We hope to continue working together long into the future.”
