Australian Musical Events

From 1972 to 1974 Victoria was home to the Sunbury Pop Festival, initially to showcase Australian talent. A group of Australian performers also formed the Happy Hour Brigade. This episode features artists from both of these events. 

Performing at Sunbury were the Dingoes (Way Out West), Renee Geyer (Stares And Whispers), Spectrum (I’ll Be Gone) and Linda George (Neither One Of Us) among others. The Happy Hour Brigade consisted of all male performers featuring Brian Cadd (Ginger Man), Darryl Cotton (Same Old Girl) and two Australian icons, Russell Morris (The Girl That I Love) and Billy Thorpe (I Told The Brook).
