Denis Farrington, St Kilda's King of Swing
About
We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive evening celebrating St Kilda's King of Swing - an exciting, soon-to-be-released three-part podcast series that tells the remarkable story of Denis Farrington, the original impresario of Melbourne's live music scene.Long before the names Molly Meldrum or Michael Gudinski became synonymous with Australian music, Denis was the man booking the bands, filling the venues, and keeping the dance floors of St Kilda alive. This is his story - and we think it's one well worth telling.
We'll close the evening with something very special: a screening of rare, high-quality photographs of St Kilda's iconic venues and concerts from the era, generously donated by one of the podcast's interviewees and close friend of Denis, Geoffrey Orr.
