THE BONDI LIFESAVER was Sydney's legendary rock n roll HQ until it closed in 1980. Despite the self-inflicted amnesia of most who were there the book is finished and should be available in December 2019. The author, Craig Griffiths, is a musician, member of the journalists' union and Australian Society of Authors, and a Bondi local who spent too many years waging the war against sleep at places like the Lifesaver, Astra, French's and numerous Kings Cross dives. He now lives above his recording studio in Tasmania and wrangles media and publications for the state's largest trade union. Contact Craig: craig@skullbug.com
