New book pays homage to The Angels' Doc Neeson
Often compared to David Bowie and Mick Jagger, Doc Neeson was hailed as a ‘messianic rock god’. He was thumping, pumping, sweaty hard rock. He commanded the stage. He was unstoppable. He was terrifying. He was wild. He was a legend. And as their frontman, Doc propelled The Angels to become the highest-paid band in Australia in the 80’s and 90’s. WIth massive album sales at home and a US record deal, global superstardom seemed assured .. but then everything started to fall apart. This is Doc’s story told by his last partner, Anne Souter and his childhood friend Jon Bradshaw. Listen to my interview with Anne in this week’s episode.

Hi Sandy,
We are currently in France and just listened to your 2021 interview with JJ Fleuck……… what a good find!!
We were hoping we might catch a show as we are visiting friends in Switzerland soon but unfortunately the band is in America while we are here so hopefully they will come down under sometime and we can get to see them.
