Andrew Farriss on INXS, becoming a lead singer and why everyone is turning country

Andrew Farriss has been writing songs since he was a teenager. He’s now in his 60s. That’s a lot of tunes.

Some of them you would know — the hit songs he wrote for his former band INXS for example — but like most prolific songwriters, there was a lot of other stuff too. Much of it recorded on dinky little tapes scratched and worn by time. They sounded, Farriss admits, “like *****”. But he was sure there was some gold amid the dross. So a few years ago, he decided to pluck those songs from their sad little tapes and head to a recording studio to see what they sounded like with all the bells and whistles of a modern recording studio.
