There’s a song on Andrew Farriss’s recent self-titled solo album called “Come Midnight”, which was actually written during the sessions for INXS’s 1987 album Kick. As with the rest of his solo record, though, it’s a far cry from the funk, rock and pop of INXS, with Andrew going down a more traditional country music route.

We talk about Andrew’s latest career move in this interview, as well as his upbringing and path into music, the rise of INXS and his songwriting partnership with Michael Hutchence, what it was like carrying on with the band following Michael’s death and much more.
