The Voice Inside
The Voice Inside | John Farnham, Poppy Stockell
3 posts
At last, the unflinching and unforgettable memoir of music and life from the much-loved Australian legend. Growing up in London and Melbourne, music was always part of John Farnham's world. But the young John never dreamed of what was to come. Pop stardom in the 1960s. The release of Whispering Jack, the critically acclaimed and highest-selling Australian album of all time. A decades-long touring career. Twenty-one ARIA awards. Australian of the Year. The list of accolades and achievements is long - so, at first glance, the John Farnham story is one filled with remarkable highs. It is, however, so much more than that. It is the story of the resilience John found as his stellar career stalled, record companies turned their backs, and he faced financial ruin. John has never shown how hard he fell and how difficult it was to stay true to himself in an industry that can be ruthless. It is the story of family, friendship and finding your voice. Throughout a lifetime filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, John has remained steadfast, never losing his unique musical talent, creative strength nor his powerful ability to make human connections through his music. After his devastating cancer diagnosis and far too many goodbyes, John is now telling his story, his way. The Voice Inside is like sitting down with an old friend sharing stories that are both deeply personal and wildly entertaining. Written alongside award-winning filmmaker Poppy Stockell, this is a captivating and powerfully honest insight into the man whose music is the soundtrack to so many of our lives.

Wandered into QBD with my birthday Boost… and bumped into THIS GUY again!

I really only ventured in for my free boost (lucky they give you two days either side of your birthday to collect because my local boost was closed due to being collateral damage in a gold heist gone wrong) so I didn‘t miss out!

Rissreadswithcats This is hilarious! He is going to be in your nightmares! I reckon you need to chuck him under your arm and run off with him! 🤣 3mo
Susanita A gold heist gone wrong?!? 3mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Susanita, I was hoping someone would ask! So it‘s a small suburban shopping centre and somehow a big 4WD managed to bypass carpark bollards, in the early hours of Sunday morning, to smash through one of the main entrances - drove through the mall (several stores had damaged storefronts including boost juice) until it got to the “we buy gold” kiosk - at which point they boosted the safe and drove off… to my knowledge there has been no arrest.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreads, I could leave him at the end of my bed, freak me out every morning… could be more effective than setting multiple alarms 🤔 3mo
julesG 🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't go to sleep with that cardboard looking at me. 3mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, he could double as a sleep paralysis demon 😂 3mo
Rissreadswithcats Hilarious! 😆 3mo
Susanita That sounds like the plot to a bad movie! 3mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Susanita, it really does! 3mo
CarolynM 🤣 Great story, I bet all the locals were outraged! All the non-Aussies on here must be wondering who this blond bloke is. 3mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, watching the footage is like a guide of what not to do 😂 apparently the safe is empty overnight, so high risk for no reward. https://youtu.be/lLBflvR_Xec?si=cKCmY1gP4F7ZNAgk 3mo
