Australian Idol legend, proper down to earth Aussie bloke farmer turned singer Shannon "Nollsie" Noll joins us for a yarn. Nollsie takes us back the very beginning to discuss life growing up in a farming lifestyle and how everything aligned to find his talent for music, eventually leading to picking either a footy game or his audition for Australian Idol. We run through his experience on Idol, post Idol gigs, Aussie music touring culture and even talk about his stint on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here before wrapping up with the guest questions. It was unreal getting an Aussie icon on for a yarn and we can't wait for him to belt out some tunes at Alphafest. Enjoy trendsetters!

Nollsie will be performing at Alphafest, our festival at Sandstone Point featuring other great acts Bliss n' Eso and The Wolfe Brothers. Grab a ticket if you haven't already here: alphafest.com.au
