At ABC Radio National, Jasmin, Cecilia and I sat for a radio interview with Amanda Smith. It was broadcast yesterday, and here is a podcast of it! Personally, I don’t think I come across as particularly entertaining in this one. I dunno, maybe all my energy was consumed by the pint-size ocker chef we had… Continue reading (Not) Peter Russell Clarke

Art Project Pays Homage to Bon Scott
Lots of media coverage this weekend! Thanks to Jon for sending through the link to this video clip that appeared on ABC TV Stateline on Friday night. As you can see from the screengrab above, the Hamilton Hill Clan is featured. The TV cameraman has done a great little piece of trick photography in their… Continue reading Art Project Pays Homage to Bon Scott
Reunions at the Gallery
It was a big night for reunions! Here I am in my Bon Scott Nook with Veronica and Stevo. I’d just finished explaining their story to my friend Mish (using a photo pinned onto the wall behind the beanbag as a visual aid) when, speak of the devil, they showed up! By this stage of… Continue reading Reunions at the Gallery
The exhibition, almost there…
Me in my Bon Scott Blog nook writing this blog entry! Here I am writing in my little nook under the stairs at the Fremantle Arts Centre. In an hour the exhibition will open. FAC/DC (facca dacca) are rehearsing “Ride On”. A fluffy white dog just walked past (not joking!). I wish my girlfriend could… Continue reading The exhibition, almost there…

She describes… Continue reading Consult a Professional Mourner…

My mum mentioned to a guy at her work that her son was doing a project about Bon Scott. As seems to happen fairly regularly in Perth, her colleague, Greg, casually replied that… Continue reading Greg’s Story
Facca Dacca Rocks Out!
Apparently when the Bon Scott Project was announced, tribute bands from all around the world contacted the Fremantle Arts Centre (F.A.C.), offering to make their way to Freo at their own expense, and perform for free! But the arts centre decided to form its own supergroup, called FAC/DC (or facca dacca), consisting of prominent members… Continue reading Facca Dacca Rocks Out!
AC/DC agnostic celebrates the ultimate live wire
This article appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald Today. (Thanks to Vanessa for spending $1.30 on a newspaper and taking a photo of it on her back lawn for me…) See the whole article online here (it’s also mirrored on The Age). I had a nice chat with the journalist, Clare Morgan, yesterday.
Ocker Cheese!
[Peter Russell Clarke. In Australia, we serve cheddar cheese in cubes on top of salad. You’ll have to read to the bottom to find out why this mad snake is featured here…]
TXT BON NOW!
OK, here’s the lowdown. From 17th of May to 29th of June 2008, you can send an SMS text message to Bon Scott! Well, sort of. You can send it to little ole me, and then I will select the best ones to go up on the Fremantle Welcome LED sign, to be seen by… Continue reading TXT BON NOW!
