Enjoy a truly awe-inspiring Sunday Arts Magazine with special guest, award-winning Jo Gilbert. Jo is the author of the book Along the Road to Gundagai: Biography of Jack O’Hagan and Birth of Australian Pop Culture. Jo Gilbert is Jack O’Hagan’s granddaughter and knew him intimately. She manages the Jack O’Hagan Estate and official website(from which this information is sourced.) “If Jack had been born in America, he would have been world famous.”(Barry Humphries) Jack is the famous Australian songwriter who wrote ” Along the Road to Gundagai, Where the Dog sits on the Tuckerbox, and Our Don Bradman, plus many others. Within this intriguing episode, Jo tells the audience how many other songs Jack wrote. He was a huge celebrity in his time; songwriter, composer and performer.

There is much more to learn about Jack’s life contained within this enthralling episode. “Jack was the first person to prove that Australians could create and enjoy their own popular music.”(Frank Van Straten) But, although Jack O’Hagan wrote many legendary songs, he was largely forgotten until Jo wrote a biography about him.
