Art Ryan describes Rick Pointon as 'Newcastle rock royalty', and Rick is perhaps best known for his work with the legendary Benny & The Jets. At their peak, Benny & The Jets performed more than 300 nights each year and have worked with some incredible Australian and international industry figures. If you grew up with Johnny O'Keefe in your ears and seeing bands at venues like the Palais, the Impala or even Bus Stop - you'll love the stories Rick tells in his book. What was 'Henry Mousetraps', and what did Sandra the Go Go Girl have to do with Barry Gibb's secret visit to Newcastle in 1977? Rick also lays to rest the oft-told tale of Little Richard's religious epiphany that led him to throw his jewellery into the harbour.
