Description A groupie. Her bastard. And a whole lotta good times.

It’s the early 80s. Records spin on the radio, groupies flock to gigs and fall for their idols. A bastard child follows his mother in the shadow of rock 'n' roll. The men at the mic become the father he never had.

Featuring re-imagined gems from Cold Chisel, Paul Kelly, Nick Cave and AC/DC, poet and provocateur Tommy Bradson presents a love song to Oz, to his mother and the men she loved.
