We have released this new episode to pay tribute to Col Joye who passed away on 5th August 2025, Aged 89. To put it simply, Col Joye is Australian Music Royalty. A leader of the Rock n Roll revolution in this country from the very start, Col Joye and the Joy Boys were at the forefront of spreading this new 'devils music' to the masses in the late 1950's. Col Joye and the Joy Boys were the first Australian act to hit No.1 on the local charts and in all, they have released over 50 singles, 30 EP's and 40 albums. An ARIA Hall of Famer and also awarded an Order of Australia, Col Joye has achieved plenty on the actual music side of things, with a string of No.1 hits and literally thousands of sold out shows, however, it is the business side of the industry that Col and his many family members of the Jacobsen clan have found amazing success. As a promoter, manager and producer Col has helped create and encourage many stars in the making, including one of the worlds biggest selling acts, the Bee Gees. A star of the hit parade and constant chart topper, Col was also the star of the iconic television show Bandstand.

I’ve Been to Bali Too was Redgums follow up single to their No.1 classic I Was Only 19 (A Walk in the Light Green).  Out of nowhere Redgum had become hot property. I Was Only 19 not only went to No.1 but the song found a place in the heart of a nation. Living in Bali for a time is how John came to write the Bali Blues, which would one day morph into I’ve Been to Bali Too.
