Brisbane-raised Lindy Morrison was the drummer of Australia's most critically acclaimed pop band, The Go-Betweens. The band was formed by song-writing duo Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. Lindy was The Go-Betweens drummer over six albums. Like an Australian Fleetwood Mac, she was in a relationship with Robert. While Grant was in a relationship with fellow band member Amanda Brown.

Just released in Australian cinemas is the documentary The Go-Betweens: Right Here, from filmmaker Kriv Stenders (Red Dog). The documentary is about music, a life’s work, lovers, friends, fallings out and reconciliations. On camera, Lindy is the most formidable character in the pop drama.

Lindy is more than just the drummer of Australia’s greatest pop band. She continues to do social work with Support Act and she’s active in the recorded music copyright space with PPCA (Phonographic Performance Company of Australia). She’s also a mother. When her daughter left home, Lindy talks about how Facebook made her feel less lonely.
