Is cleanliness close to rock godliness? It is in the case of Tim Rogers. It turns out this icon of Australian indie music is a demon with the Scotch-Brite.
In our series of talks on surprising private passions, the You Am I frontman will discuss his enthusiasm for scrubbing, mopping and dusting; a passion he has nurtured quietly and doggedly under trying circumstances. Tim has spent around 20 years working and touring with what he describes as a ‘grubby rock band’. It’s not easy to be a clean-freak in the world of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll.
Join us at this midday session to discover how a wild man of rock keeps things squeaky clean.
