Andrew Stafford is a freelance writer and the author of Pig City, a musical, political and social history of Brisbane, now in its third edition. In July 2007 the book was transformed into a major event by Queensland Music Festival, headlined by the first performance by the original lineup of the Saints in nearly 30 years. His second book, Something To Believe In, was published in 2019.
His journalism appears in The Guardian, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, Griffith Review and anyone else willing to pay except News Corp. He was also co-owner and founder of short-lived independent Brisbane label Pig City Records.
