When screenwriter Christopher Lee was researching 'Friday on my Mind', the ABC miniseries on The Easybeats, he was not surprised that George Young, one of the band’s founders, was reluctant to co-operate.
This landmark two-part mini-series that tells the story of five young newly-arrived immigrants who met in Sydney migrant hostel Villawood in the Sixties and went on to form Australia’s first truly international rock group, The Easybeats, taking our rock’n’roll sound to the world.
Jon, a charming but out-of-luck novelist, musters the bravery needed to try and win back the love of his life by surprising her at a friend’s wedding. One problem: he's in Auckland and the wedding is in Wellington.
Production has begun in Sydney on Playmaker’s 'The Easybeats' for the ABC.
