The story of Michael Gudinski will be told in the upcoming biography ‘Gudinski: The Godfather of Australian Rock’ by Stuart Coupe.

Coupe, a one-time manager of Paul Kelly and Hoodoo Gurus, broadcaster and author of the industry insight ‘The Promoters’, has spent the past two years researching and writing about the real story of Australia’s most powerful music mogul Michael Gudinski.

Gudinski was entrepreneurial as a kid. It is documented at that age 7 Michael would charge for parking on an empty block near the family home for punters heading to the Caulfield Cup.

In 1972, at age 20, Michael Gudinski and his mate Ray Evans booked off of the entertainment for the Sunbury Music Festival. In 1973 he recorded acts at Sunbury and released it as a live album. It was the first album to be released on his new Mushroom Records label.

Mushroom fired up when Michael signed local Melbourne band Skyhooks to the label. Soon after he signed New Zealand band Skyhooks and later Kylie Minogue.

The Gudinski empire expanded with Mushroom Publishing, Premier Artists and Frontier Touring.

The Gudinski story the parallel with the evolution of the Australian Music Industry.

‘Gudinski: The Godfather of Australian Rock’ will be published by Hachette Australia for release in August 2015.
