Jimmy Barnes: Working Class Man at MIFF
Triple R Presents the Music on Film stream at Melbourne International Film Festival, on August 7 to 24.
After finding fame with pub rock legends Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes became an Australian icon through the success of his solo career. Having escaped his hard-knocks upbringing, married the love of his life and released a string of number-one albums, the man known across the country simply as ‘Barnesy’ had seemingly made it. But financial issues, heavy drug use, gruelling tours, a failure to crack the US and the spectre of childhood trauma all still weighed upon him, eventually finding their release in words – as this intimate new account reveals.
Tickets for Jimmy Barnes: Working Class Man can be found here, or check out the full MIFF program here.
Triple R Subscribers can enter the competition below to go in the draw to win a double pass to the screening at 6.00pm Thursday 21 August at The Astor. This screening is followed by a Q&A with Jimmy Barnes and director Andrew Farrell.
