Synopsis
From his early teens, Peter Head has played 'em all.
Strip joints, rodeos, clubs a glitz and seedy, sideshow alley, off the grid rude boy clubs, sharpie pubs, speedways, remote US bases, ocean-going liners and way more, 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, Jeff St John, Cold Chisel and hillsides of others.
Along the way, encounters with larger than lifers from Sydney’s Mr Big Abe Saffron to SA Premier Don Dunstan, on a trip from his first bands in Adelaide, South Australia at the dawn of the 1960s to England of 1968 to the crimehubs of 7Os St. Kilda and Sydney, to north of the Tweed to the Top End and just about all of his native South Australia.
It's a life lived head on, a ride you won't want to end.
