"Write a song that will outlive you and me" said Sly Stallone to Jim Peterik. The story behind Jim's iconic song Eye of the Tiger is just one of the tales he shares in this incredibly entertaining chat with Kevin. Jim brought his guitar and highlights some of his other chart topping smash hits including Vehicle by The Ides of March.

Gary U.S. Bonds has been making memorable music since the early sixties, a time when being a black singer in the USA came with very different social challenges. Gary recalls dealing with segregation on the road, his days touring and learning from Sam Cooke and of course his life-changing hook up with Bruce Springsteen - a partnership that revitalised his career and introduced his music to a whole new generation.

You know their songs, now meet the men: Jim Peterik and Gary U.S. Bonds.

Episode 2 is jam packed with exceptional guests.

He is not the Messiah or a very naughty boy, he is comedy icon Eric Idle. The Monty Python superstar is about to tour his latest one man show across Australia. Kevin was thrilled to have a chat about life, death, Elvis and the Beatles.

Best remembered for her role as Jaime Sommers in The Bionic Woman, the star of the show Lindsay Wagner tells Kevin about the continuing fascination for the ground breaking show, some risky stunt work and how she discovered Vegemite.

And to finish, in demand session bassist Matt Bissonette - who has played with everyone from Elton to ELO to Brian Wilson - has a new band called The Reddcoats. He talks about his incredible career path and the music he is making now between gigs with the touring superstars.

Pete Best is my first guest on the H Files with Kevin Hillier and, as a total Beatles baby, it is a great thrill to bring the stories and memories of the band's original drummer back, some sixty years on. Pete takes us from the beginnings in Liverpool to Hamburg and back to the Cavern Club just prior to The Beatles' fame and and his unceremonious sacking. Pete shares the still raw emotions of that event, plus the good times in Germany and life after, as he watched John, Paul, George and Ringo musically conquer the world.

As you will hear, Pete is not bitter and has had a great life in music and beyond, including a new hospitality venture in the original Casbah Coffee Club, such a pivotal part of the Beatles history.
