Bernard Fanning

Fri 14 July 2017
Bernard Fanning is one of Australia’s best-known singer-songwriters, with and without Powderfinger.
As a kid, his nickname was Stumpy. He tells Barry Divola about growing up as a shorty who was obsessed with both cricket and pop music, and how his love of pinball resulted in him seeing Duran Duran for free at his very first concert. Bernard shares his memories and favourite songs from KISS, Suzi Quatro, Madonna and more.
