Andrew Stafford- Introducing author at Outspoken Maleny
Join UQP author Andrew Stafford as the introducing author of Outspoken Maleny.
Andrew’s book Pig City, about the Brisbane music scene from the 70s through to the millennium, has been re-released for its twentieth anniversary. It is a major Brisbane icon in itself.
Bernard Fanning wrote of it: ‘Twenty years on, Pig City reminds us of how deeply the political undercurrents (Joe Bjelke Peterson’s government) impacted the cultural output of Brisbane’s artists, and how the pioneers of the scene (unknowingly) laid the platform for the bands to come.’
Paul Grabowsky: ‘I read Pig City in 2005, as part of my induction into the musical history of Brisbane. I couldn’t put it down. Any city lucky enough to be honoured with such a chronicle is a very lucky place.’
Andrew will be in conversation with Steven Lang
