Stuart Coupe lifts the lid on what it was like to interview renowned musicians like Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger; and shares other stories from his time in the music industry.
Sam Twyford-Moore came to Abbey's Bookshop to chat about his new group biography, Cast Mates. Cast Mates is an in-depth look at the Australian film industry over the last few decades from the Golden Age of Hollywood, to today when the streaming giants have changed the industry.
M.J. Cornwall writes about the life of American rockstar, PJ Proby who attracted a lot of controversy during his career. He was deported from the UK, blew his fortunes and had troubled marriages.
Donald Robertson dropped into Abbey's to talk about his new book, No Fixed Address. The biography tells the story of Adelaide born Indigenous rock and reggae band, No Fixed Address who were the first Aboriginal rock band to release an album, appear on Countdown and tour overseas.
