Beginning as a roadie for local bands, Robinson eventually rose through hard work to become Australia's foremost lighting and sound provider for the biggest entertainment acts. For a time he also excelled in the same business in the UK before returning to Australia. Along the way he married the countries most powerful music publicist Patti Mostyn who achieved fame after becoming the best pal of some of her superstar clients like Elton John. This year Eric received the Sue Nattrass Award at the Helpmann Awards to honour his long standing commitment to the live performance industry.
Robinson and Patti retired to Port Douglas a few years ago where Eric died at age 67 from complications from cancer. He leaves behind wife Patti and their daughter Tara and will be farewelled in a private funeral.
