It has been 50 years since we first heard David Surkamp's unique voice as frontman of Pavlov's Dog and on the eve of the band's first Australian tour, David shares his thoughts on his amazing musical career. From writing the iconic Julia to meeting Vanda and Young on his only visit to Australia, David tells a great story. 

Cowboy Junkies are also on their way to Australia for their 40th anniversary tour and founding member Michael Timmins talks about their longevity, their musical path and what Aussie audiences can expect in November. 

Finishing this episode, a sneak preview of the next H Files with Buzz Bidstrup, a man of many and varied talents including being the drummer with the Angels. Buzz has written a brilliant memoir 'No Secrets' and in this snippet Buzz tells the story of that Angels crowd classic 'Am I ever gonna see your face again'  and sharing a stage with I Dream of Jeannie star Barbara Eden.
