Thumbs up to Peter Scanlon and the rest of the team who bring out the Australian Rock’n’Roll Appreciation Society (ARRAS) magasine, “the Big Beat”.
The latest edition, their 100th, has a brilliant story about Vic OÂ’Neil, front man for the Straight Eights and a significant figure in the Melbourne and Australian RÂ’nÂ’R scene.
It is so good to read about a real, live local star.
As well as all the info about his music career I was interested to learn that Vic is skilled with horses and has had many riding related roles in movies.
You have just gotta get a copy of the Big Beat and read the story for yourself. I was so rapt I asked Vic to autograph his picture on the cover of mine.
Just remember that he is a busy bloke so do not bugging him to autograph your copy.
