Hundreds line up for Barnes' signature

Hundreds of residents lined up along the footpath of West St, Umina, on the morning of Saturday, October 8, for the opportunity to get the signature of former Cold Chisel vocalist Jimmy Barnes.

Mr Barnes was at the Umina Book Bazaar signing copies of his newly-released childhood memoir Working Class Boy.

Umina Book Bazaar owner Ms Mandi McIntosh said fans had started to line up outside the book store before it opened at 9am.

Barnes was not due to start autographing copies of his book until 10am.

A former Gosford councillor was just one of the hundreds of locals who lined up.

Some waited for several hours to have a moment with Jimmy Barnes buy a copy of his acclaimed new book and have him sign his new book.
