Pig City

Duration: 60 minutes

Through its music scene, Pig City tells the story of Brisbane in the late 20th century, a time when music and politics often stood toe-to-toe. Writer, broadcaster and one-time Channel V presenter Yumi Stynes talks to Pig City’s Andrew Stafford about the book and the scene.

6:45pm doors open for a 7.00pm start.

First published in October 2004, Pig City has been described by the Sydney Morning Herald as "an instant classic of cultural history". A musical, cultural and social history of Brisbane during and after the Bjelke-Petersen years, it was turned into a key event of the 2007 Queensland Music Festival, highlighted by the first performance in nearly 30 years by the original lineup of the Saints.
