The biography of great Australian jazz singer/guitarist, Johnny Nicol, is now available.

Titled “Johnny Nicol: My Life, My Music”, the 258 page book has been written by respected journalist and author Scott Nicol.

There are dozens of stories about –  and interviews with – singers, musicians, actors, radio and television personalities, sportsmen and even the occasional rogue – all of whom Johnny Nicol rubbed shoulders with over the years.

Those interviewed include Don Burrows, Bob Barnard, Renee Geyer, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Lucky Starr, Lucky Grills and many, many more.

John performed in Las Vegas, England, Southeast Asia and of course in hundreds of places throughout Australia.

John also shares his battles with racism and how, for many years, he hid his Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island background from all but his closest friends. He shares how ultimately he has embraced his cultural identity and how he is helping others do the same.

The book is just $25 (+$3.95 P&P) and $2 from every sale through this website (please mention Dingo Creek when replying) will go to SIDS and Kids Queensland. Email author Scott Nicol direct on: journoscott@yahoo.com
