FREE EVENT – No Fixed Address – The book about Australia’s trailblazing Aboriginal rock ‘n’ reggae band

The story of this radical group is told in a new book by Donald Robertson. On the back cover Goanna’s Shane Howard describes No Fixed Address as “the tip of the spear” that plunged into the heart of middle Australia. And as a story, it’s got everything – starting with a fiery truck crash on the Nullarbor Plain when the band were returning from an ill fated trip to Perth in 1982. – Andrew Stafford, The Guardian
