Description
A Melbourne sound that is at once both rakish and debonair. So what specifically is it about Melbourne that, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, its able to support around 465 live music venues as compared to 453 in New York, 385 in Tokyo and 245 in London despite its population being a fraction of those major world cities? Despite the flaky weather, the footy and Netflix, Melbournians are committed to going out at night and in great numbers in heat or hail to listen to live music and to find those bands and singers theyve heard on Spotify or discovered on Soundcloud.

Craig Horne has been a public servant and speechwriter and also a musician on the Melbourne scene over the last forty-eight years.

His previous book, Daddy Who? was published by Melbourne Books in 2018.
