Jim Mountzouris with a Little Help from My Friends

Marking 40 years since the release of My Imagination, the no.1 single by Adelaide electropop outfit Vertical Hold, local songwriter Jim Mountzouris will be performing a tribute show to the songs he and late writing partner Mick Michalopoulos wrote and released on vinyl in the ‘80s, with a little help from the friends and musical collaborators he’s played with over the years. The hour-long show will feature all the Vertical Hold hits, some unreleased songs by Jim and Mick, and a few favourite covers recorded by Jim’s latter-day band, The Southern Pop Express. Take a trip back through the sounds that dominated the local airwaves and shaped the musical tastes of Generation X. Part proceeds go to the Arts in Health program run by the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Foundation.
