Howard Eynon chats to Stuart about his under-appreciated 1974 acid folk album So What If I'm Standing in Apricot Jam.

Howard Eynon joins Stuart to chat about his under-appreciated acid-folk album from 1974 'So What If Im Standing In Apricot Jam'. Born in England Eynon moved to rural Tasmania with his parents and made music reminiscent of his British contemporaries Syd Barrett, Nick Drake and Kevin Ayres but with the colloquial humour of an Australian. At the age of 17 Eynon travelled to Melbourne on his motorbike in search of fame and fortune and acheived success as an actor with a part in the original Mad Max film. At this time he recorded his only album, a gem of the acid folk genre released on a tiny label which was promptly lost to the mists of time, until now.
