Michael Gudinski touched lives and shaped Aussie culture with the unforgettable music released through Mushroom Records and all the mega artists he brought to Australia with the Frontier Touring Company.
His long-time friend and broadcasting icon, Barry Bissell, fronts the remarkable story of Michael as told in his own words in a 30-minute LiSTNR exclusive – Michael Gudinski: The Ultimate Music Man.
Sourced from hours of exclusive chats with Michael from over the years, this is a respectful and insightful podcast about the godfather of the Australian music scene, brought together with the help of music journo and close associate of the Mushroom Group family, Jeff Jenkins.
Michael, with that unmistakable MG voice, shares stories from his early days as a school dance promoter, being an artist manager, the start of Mushroom Records, Frontier Touring and tales from touring across Australia with some of the biggest artists in the world; his recollections interwoven with artist music throughout.
On the start of his music career Michael Gudinski reflects: “Bon Scott was the first guy I ever went on the road with. I was 16 years old; I was on school holidays and certainly did I have a rock’n’roll experience! Bon was the lead singer of The Valentine’s and let me tell you from that time on it certainly was a long way to the top but a great way to rock’n’roll.”
Michael Gudinski: The Ultimate Music Man is available to listen for free via the LiSTNR app.
Over at ARN, iHeartRadio Australia has created a station dedicated to Gudinski’s outstanding career, featuring all the music he championed over his career including music from the artists on his label or who toured with Frontier.
