Raw Tales And True

Original Sydney punk singer, and now author, Johnny Rejex takes us back to 1976 when Sydney needed a big shake up and punk delivered it. He takes us to ground zero and shares a bunch of hilarious true stories. The bands, the parties, the unforgettable characters from a unique time in cultural history. And, if you like it, you'll love his book which you can buy here

Two storytellers - 1. AJ has a night and morning after to remember on a backpacking trip to Koh Samui, Thailand, 2. Quigs has a whole bunch of rollicking tales from life as an expat in Saudi Arabia - you wouldn't think booze was banned.

This episode is all about the surreal possibilities of the early 1970's. Meeting Pink Floyd for a school magazine story and getting vouched for by Billy Preston, whilst participating in a Chuck Berry no 1 hit recording. And rebellious university days in Sydney and pulling a legendary prank involving sheep and the harbour bridge.

Here's a 35 minute skip through an epic life. James Ynson was born in The Philippines and raised there, and later Australia, before stints in the US and Saudi Arabia as an adult. He has endured tremendous, sometimes unfathomable, trauma and hardship. But he has a rare resilience, which is inspiring. He's also written a memoir called All In On Tomorrow available on Amazon

King of speed Roger Fabri takes us back to being an 18 year old SP bookmaker's assistant and a particularly memorable day at the track. Then Kev has a few late 80's London football tales, including a brilliant example of how to bust into a sold out event and an encounter with the legendary Modfather himself, Paul Weller. And my good mates Steve and Dan help navigate English football culture of the late 80's.

Karma is a bitch and she knows where you live - get your mind blown by this wild story about the leaves of destiny in India, as told by legendary astrologer Dadhichi (astrology.com.au). And in our second story, lets go rally driving in suburbia and other uncommon driving misdeamenors by our mate Brad.

Three stories by three different storytellers. AJ's tinder date gets him onstage at Glastonbury, whilst Katie has a date that gets all out of hand (sorry), and Evan regales us with tales from the early 80's working as a barman in some legendary Sydney haunts.
