1 y separately published work icon Confessions of a Lighthouse Keeper Greg Appel , Sydney : Guthugga Pipeline Press , 2020 20944884 2020 single work autobiography

'A memoir that's more than an insider's account of a mid-eighties Australian independent band. Confessions of a Lighthouse Keeper provides multiple insights into the broader music and entertainment world—in a country that has mixed feelings about the arts. It's atmospheric, light and full of musings from others who have travelled this road over the last fifty years. The Lighthouse Keepers are sentimental favourites among the generation who came of age in the inner cities of Sydney, Melbourne—and even Canberra—during the 1980s. 

Featuring personal interviews, diary entries, and writing contributions from other witnesses—interviews include: Lindy Morrison, the Go-Betweens; James Cruickshank, Widdershins, Cruel Sea; Rob McComb, the Triffids; Murray Cook, the Wiggles; John Paul Young, legendary Australian popstar; Steve Kilbey, the Church; Ken Gormly, Cruel Sea; Clinton Walker, writer/academic; David Nichols, writer/academic; Juliet Ward, the Lighthouse Keepers; Sarah Macdonald, journalist/broadcaster... with a foreword by Tanya Plibersek, Australian Labor Party, Member of Parliament.

'Greg Appel—a key member of the Lighthouse Keepers—brings to this tale a unique perspective on the raucous world of the music business, public broadcasting and creative program-making.'

— Review of Van Park Greg Appel , 2010 single work musical theatre
1 2 Van Park Greg Appel , Steve Appel (composer), 2010 single work musical theatre humour 'It is the story of a group of washed up rockers who wind up in a caravan park. Amongst these battle hardened creatures a sensitive young boy comes of age. But it is quite an unusual van park. Enter the exotic love interest and let the music begin. JPY's seventies hit song Yesterday's Hero is a truly fitting finale.' Source: http://chapeloffchapel.com.au/ (sighted 21/03/2012).
