It was the most enjoyable media gig I’ve done so far (oh, apart from dressing up as Gene Simmons… Continue reading Mr Stubbs Gets Stuck In

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…

Here Come the Artists! (Part 2)
[Stuart Bailey with his custom silk-screened Bon Scott Posters…] Before I left Sydney, I got to hang out with Stuart Bailey, one of the artists whose work will be featured in the upcoming Bon Scott Project exhibition. His studio is a kooky set of fibro rooms above a defunct shop on Parramatta Road. I went… Continue reading Here Come the Artists! (Part 2)
