Author Stuart coupe

Stuart Coupe is a veteran rock writer who has probably seen a lot more in the  music industry than he could  put in print!

We’ll have to assume that there are some tales he left out of this account of the life of the blokes ( and women) who lump the bands gear on and off, ensure the sound is perfect and also take care of a myriad of other little niceties for the band.

He was inspired to write his book  ‘Roadies’ as he has  long  been aware that the attrition rate in the industry through injury, addiction and suicide is disturbingly high.

This book reveals the highs and lows , here is  Stuart reading an account of a Cold Chisel final tour performance  night prank played by their loyal road crew.
