This is the Bon Scott Project “cassette cover”. It’s basically a jazzed-up exhibition invitation card. Here are a few pictures of the insert once you fold it out (click on ’em to see bigger): [Kudos to James and Robyn from the Fremantle Arts Centre for the design work…] If you’re lucky, you might have received… Continue reading A Bon Scott Blog Giveaway!
A sign from somewhere east of Adelaide?
Regular readers of this blog may remember Ben Scott, the unsubstantiated but loveable lovechild of Bon. He’s hell-bent on accessing Scott-the-elder’s DNA, that elusive double helix which, he is certain, will perfectly match his own – thus unlocking the key to his true identity once and for all. I first met and interviewed Ben at… Continue reading A sign from somewhere east of Adelaide?
A Ghostly Apparition!
A ghostly apparition (albeit a rather zany one) of Bon Scott has been spotted under “the new bridge” in Fremantle. I raced down on my bike to shoot the above snap. The apparition seems to glow in the dark. When I went back the next day, I took some closer shots: Maybe it’s painted with… Continue reading A Ghostly Apparition!
ABC Jailbreak
Alex Sloan (this fine lady with a GSOH to my left) interviewed me this morning on ABC Radio Canberra. Somehow she’d gotten the idea that I was a “die-hard fan”. I had to let her down lightly. Not that I’m not a fan of Bon and AC/DC (I AM!) but I think you have to… Continue reading ABC Jailbreak

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)
