In part two of this Go-Betweens special, frontman Robert Forster remembers his dear friend, the late Grant McLennan, the band they began together as schoolboys, and his group’s quest to find a creative home that would last after the turmoil of moving from Brisbane to London. After a couple of false starts, that quest would eventually lead them to Beggars Banquet. The Go Betweens might not have found the fame and fortune that they’d travelled across the world for, but with Martin Mills, they did at long last find a place to truly realise their potential. As with the Gene Loves Jezebel episode, different band member’s memories don’t always match up and resolutions can take years to come by. Learn more about your ad choices.
