Mark Adams – From a Small Farming Community to Becoming a Lawyer & a JOY Life Member

Music, Society & Culture

In this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes talks to JOY Life Member, Mark Adams (Pronouns: He/Him). Mark was born in the small farming community of Lameroo in South Australia. He found it difficult being a queer kid at that time so hid it away. He then spent a year as an exchange student in Germany when he was 17. Once back in Australia, he moved to Adelaide and then to Melbourne in the 1990s. He spent three years in Dubai during the 2000s but was fired for being openly gay and returned to Melbourne with his partner. He was a presenter on JOY for 7 years and on the JOY Board for 4 years. He’s now practising as a lawyer.

And do they have a mixtape for you? Think Nina, George Michael, INXS, Tracy Chapman, Portishead, Missy Elliott, Jill Scott, Janelle Monae, Beyonce and many, many more…

 For One Night Only is a late-night show on JOY 94.9 and a podcast where people from our rainbow communities get to talk through the mixtape of their lives so far.
