From his early teens, PETER HEAD has played ‘em all. Strip joints, rodeos, clubs aglitz & seedy, sideshow alley, off the grid rude boy clubs, sharpie pubs, speedways, remote US bases, ocean-going liners & waymore, with John Farnham, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Bon Scott, The Bee Gees, Robyn Archer, Wendy Saddington, Jimmy Little, Keith Moon, John Mayall, The Angels, Cold Chisel, Sherbet, Ted Mulry Gang & hillsides more.

Along the way, meet larger than lifers from Abe Saffron to Don Dunstan, on a trip from the England of 1968 to the crime hubs of 70s S Kilda & Sydney, to north of the Tweed to the Top End & just about all of his native South Australia.

It’s a life lived head on, a ride you won’t want to end.
