    The Beat Generation Chats with Aussie Idol Shannon Noll
    Dec 7 2020

    Last week Shayne Brian had the opportunity to chat with Shannon Noll about his music and his journey on The Bad Boys Lockdown so it was a perfect opportunity to explore the music he has created over the last 20 years.

    The interview was genuinely funny, the man himself was as true blue Aussie as you could get. He is the boy next door, the larrikin that won the hearts of rural Australia and his country town tours are a testament of that.

    He tells it like it is and will leave you wanting to know more about the guy they call Nollsie.

    What About Me - 2004

    Drive - 2004

    Shine - 2005
