about

This song is a reminiscence of growing up in the 1970’s on the northern beaches of Sydney. Barrenjoey High was built behind the sand hills at Avalon and in those days it was a pretty relaxed atmosphere where we seemed to spend more time at the beach than at school. Clayton Looby was a free-spirited larrikin in my year; an obsessive surfer and ratbag.
The song references his unconventional pirate life following the surf, sailing, riding motorbikes, living in Bali and spending a couple of years in a Japanese jail. He died a couple of years ago and this song is a salute to his memory and his life. - Peter O’Doherty
