Where do you start with Phil Jamieson?

If you grew up in Australia, he’s been part of the musical fabric for decades. His band Grinspoon were the first band to ever be Unearthed by triple j, they dominated festival line-ups and made more than a few appearances in the Hottest 100.

His music with Grinners has soundtracked our lives, and whether on stage or having a chat, Phil has often been the most entertaining fella in the room. So I was stoked to finally have him Take 5. The catalyst was Phil Jamieson’s debut; on the day he released his solo album, I asked him to Take 5 with his fave solo songs. Other artists who had taken that great leap of faith, stepped away from their band and gone it alone. From Beyonce to Macca, Tim Rogers to Tina Turner, this is a joyous ride from a big music fan.
