From suburban Launceston to interviewing Bruce Springsteen in Paris; being sketched by Leonard Cohen (just don’t ask him where the sketch is); setting up a record label in the Inner West to becoming the accidental manager for the Hoodoo Gurus and Paul Kelly, Stuart Coupe has lived a remarkable life as a full-time music obsessive.
Stuart will be discussing his new memoir Shake Some Action: My Life in Music (and other stuff) - the story of a journalist, author, editor, manager, record label director, radio presenter, publicist and tour promoter - and, above all, a music fan. Get ready for some epic tales and legendary stories.
Stuart will be in conversation with Bernard Zuel.
The story of how a gangly, music-obsessed kid from Tassie did everything and met everyone — Shake Some Action is a rip-snorting rock ‘n’ roll ride through a life of power and passion.
