The Ned Kelly of the Rock 'n' Roll Era

The Ned Kelly of the Rock 'n' Roll Era

Our friend Michael Adams, who hosts the excellent podcast Forgotten Australia, joins us again on Australian True Crime today to talk about his new book.

"They'll Never Hold Me" follows the life and crimes of prodigious prison escapee and fugitive, Kevin John Simmonds, also known as the Ned Kelly for the rock and roll era.

Like Ned Kelly, Simmonds was a charismatic crook who had a way with words and once boasted as he was being led away from court and towards prison that "they'll never hold me!".

True to his word, Simmonds escaped and kicked off the biggest armed manhunt in Australian history.

"They'll Never Hold Me" will be available to purchase from October 29th. You can click here to get your copy.

You can listen to Michael's podcast "Forgotten Australia" wherever you get your podcasts.
