Melbourne music businessman James Young has announced he will put his name forward to run for Lord Mayor in the City of Melbourne.
Young has had a career of successes from running the programming of Melbourne community station Triple R, his own advertising agency and then taking over Cherry Bar in the centre of Melbourne and turning it into an iconic music venue.
Young was also involved in the process of changing the name of a Melbourne laneway into AC/DC Lane to reflect the band’s formative stages when living in the City of Melbourne.
