You've got it BG it is a young Jimmy Barns and my wife has just read the book and enjoyed it also it is on audio book and Jimmy Barns is the reader, my final hint was going to be "He was a working class boy" over to you.

James Dixon Swan AO (born 28 April 1956), better known as Jimmy Barnes, is a Scottish-Australian rock singer-songwriter. His career both as a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the rock band Cold Chisel has made him one of the most popular and best-selling Australian music artists of all time.[citation needed] The combination of 14 Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and 13 charting solo albums, including nine No. 1s, gives Barnes the highest number of hit albums of any Australian artist.[1]

You have it Sheba over to you.

Brian Samuel Epstein (/pstan/[dubious  discuss]; 19 September 1934  27 August 1967) was an English music entrepreneur who managed the Beatles. Epstein first discovered the Beatles in November 1961 during a lunchtime performance at The Cavern Club. He was instantly impressed and saw great potential in the group.[1] Epstein was rejected by nearly all major recording companies in London, until he secured a meeting with George Martin, head of EMI's Parlophone label. In May 1962, Martin agreed to sign the Beatles, partly because of Epstein's conviction that the group would become internationally famous.

Thanks Sandy.     Sorry, having trouble with Pics. again.   Don't know what's happening, but I can't post one yet.  Can some-one else keep the game going please ?  Have tried to remove the attachments unsuccessfully.   They are not relevant.

 

Cheers,

Sheba.
