Simon Goodridge on Parkour with Guitar

“A musician’s journey through sound and strife takes in every triumphant chord and every haunting mistake.

Starting from humble beginnings, this musical odyssey takes you from the early dawn of Stonehenge through the Never Never and almost into the infinite reaches of Space exploring the ups and downs of a musician’s life.

The author recounts his evolution from an aspiring rockstar strumming along with legends, to a vaudevillian guitarist surviving in the cut-throat world of rock and roll, to a born-again rocker finally finding redemption.”

Born in the UK in 1960, Simon moved to Fremantle in 1965. He became the singer, songwriter and guitarist for Perth bands, Silent Type and The Never Never and now he’s written a book about his journey.

Danae Gibson is joined by Simon Goodridge, muso and writer, to talk about his book Parkour with Guitar.
