AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'From humble beginnings in Quambatook, Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum rose to become the most influential and well known name in Australian music. Molly tells the story behind the rise: the music, the bands, the parties, the celebrities, the politics, the girlfriends and boyfriends, The Hat, and most of all, the story of Molly himself. Ian Meldrum: the country boy from humble beginnings who grew up searching for a sense of belonging. Molly Meldrum: the man whose passion for music and life found him a place in the heart of an entire nation.'
