Two icons of Australian music - former Cold Chisel keyboardist and songwriter Don Walker and The Sports’ Stephen Cummings - have recently published their memoirs. They talk about music-making and much more with Mark Mordue.
STEPHEN CUMMINGS (INTERSTATE) STEPHEN CUMMINGS has been making music for three decades. While Radio National has described him as "arguably the best pop vocalist in Australia", the quest for the perfect pop song continues. Cummings’ third book, a memoir titled Will It Be Funny Tomorrow, Billy?, dishes the dirt on his life and ongoing love affair with music. Drawn from the breadth of his vast career, it is filled with poignant tales and outrageous memories.
MARK MORDUE (LOCAL) MARK MORDUE is a writer, journalist and editor. He was awarded the 1992 Human Rights Media Award for his journalism. His travel book, Dastgah: Diary of a Headtrip, was published in Australia and the USA. Film director Wim Wenders acclaimed it as the first book to take the road genre "into the 21st century". Mark was a 2001 Asialink Australian writer-in-residence at Beijing University. He currently teaches creative non-fiction at the University of Technology, Sydney. He was guest editor of the Meanjin on Rock ?n’ Roll issue and is completing his first novel for his Masters at UTS. markmordue.com
