Nick Barker Does Bon Scott at Corner Hotel

Nick Barker will lead a stellar lineup of local musicians celebrating the life of late AC/DC frontman Bon Scott in Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be – The Story of Bon Scott.

Melbourne’s Corner Hotel will host the event on Tuesday February 19, the 33rd anniversary of Bon’s passing. Something tells me Bon would approve of the pub venue. The show will tell the story of Bon’s life, from his childhood in Scotland to his time living the rock and roll dream with the rest of Acca Dacca. And yes, there will be plenty of music.

Celebrate Bon’s life with Nick Barker, Tommy Boyce, Justin Garner, Alex Raunjak, and Steve Brown at the Corner Hotel on February 19. Tickets are $27 plus booking fee from the Corner Hotel box office.

Bon Scott Movie in the Works

The colourful life of original AC/DC frontman Bon Scott may soon be immortalised on film.

Local filmmaker Eddie Martin is behind the projects, which he hopes to start filming in a year. He is preparing meet the band’s surviving members in January to get the final tick of approval, but he says the lads seem to support the biopic.

Eddie has also received funding from Film Victoria. Now all he needs is a cast!

He has his eye on local actor Tom Budge to play Angus Young, but is looking abroad for his Bon Scott.

“I hate to say who an ideal candidate might be, but I think James McAvoy could be interesting,” he told The Herald Sun.

It’s early days yet, but I think this flick has the potential to be something really special!
