Two stunning guests on this episode and some cracking music unveiled.

John Swan aka Swanee is back with a great new album 'Believe,' featuring his friends and family who just happen to be the cream of Australia's music talent. John talks about putting this 16 track gem together with help from his mate Brian 'Frog' Harris of Songland Records. The guest list includes his brothers Jimmy and Alan Barnes, his brother-in-law Diesel, plus stars like Ian Moss, Jack Jones, Colin Hay, Wendy Matthews and Melinda Schneider. 

Cherie Currie is my other guest on the eve of her Australian farewell tour in September. Best remembered as the lead singer of The Runaways, the trailblazing all-girl rock band of the late seventies, Cherie shares some stories of those days and more.    

Swanee's album is available from www.johnswan.net.au 

Cherie Currie's tour kicks off in Perth September 5th and hits Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Tickets via www.silverbacktouring.com
