Craic - As It Happened

Craic - As it Happened documents John Foy's journey from the humble origins among the suburbs to original punk-era Sydney and beyond. Operating record labels, designing & printing rock posters, running amok with fireworks into the night – all to the soundtrack of some of the region’s best-ever contemporary music. In pursuit of even more, he evolved into a global traveller and world citizen of no fixed address.
