AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Jack Gibson is a man with no desire to be a successful musician.

'Faced with the pressures and boredom of unemployment in Sydney he decides to tour the country in support of his new album. Unfortunately, he isn't committed to booking shows or really even playing them. Nor does he have a driver's license to travel from city to city.

'Forced to endure his solo journey on crammed Buses from Townsville to Perth,

he finds the experience is filled will the far more entertaining distractions like boozing, beaches, fishing and the unique personal encounters that only a solo entity could go through.

'Furthermore, can he complete his tour before the government cut off his fortnightly payments or before they realise he's not looking for work on a daily basis as his documents and application lodgements otherwise suggest. Join Jack Gibson on his adventures of a failed and poorly organised musical tour which eventually turns into a alcohol-fueled social investigation rather than playing the shows he originally intended.

'And discover through the research collected on how people react to the sight of seeing an unfamiliar character walk about Australia wearing cheap aviators and carrying a guitar.'
