A great doco – people forget all the huge acts that recorded there – Kylie, Jason, Donna Summer, Rick Astley Mel and Kim, Dead or Alive for starters!
A lot of this has been covered on Rock Ledges…which I’m still watching again on Foxtel doco channel….this was one of the best eras of my life and my daughter’s…she came of age…I was still young enough for both of us to go to concerts at the entertainment centres…pub, clubs and various venues together and enjoy ourselves…it helped to make us closer…we both have a love of music of all genres we share…its so true…music can overcome generations and bring people together….more channels should have shows about the artists and music…because that’s where inspiration to a be a singer, musician or in the music industry comes from…watching and listening them perform.
