About me
Born of a Scottish father and English mother, Ian B. MacLeod first set foot on Australian soil whilst with the Merchant Navy when he and some fellow crew members appeared on 2UW's Amateur Hour and won it, only to be disqualified later when it was discovered that they weren't residents!
This was all the incentive Ian needed and when he got back home, he packed his guitar and bags and set sail for Australia. At the Great Northern Hotel in Chatswood he won his first talent contest and headed straight for the A.B.C. and Johnny O'Keefe who after hearing him sing, booked him for A.B.C. Radio's "Rockville Junction" and "Six O'Clock Rock". He was "ADAM - Teenage Idol", a product of Australia's early rock era and probably the first true Rockabilly artist to emerge.
From 1960-1964 he enjoyed the fleeting success of the artists of that era with over a hundred T.V. shows, national tours and guest spots at every teenage dance in town. The bubble burst in 1964 …
