16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: group of people having fun.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: Okay.

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: So it's October twenty seven at the Camfield, which is

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: a big space, very big.

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: So will there be screens?

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: Will there be Okay, they also have a huge screen. Yeah,

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: doesn't matter where you're sitting, you're going to read the words.

23
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: We went yesterday and measured it by the inch and

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: it's it's all there. You can't see the screen very well, right,

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: and there's plenty of sounds, so we just got to

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: make sure that you come along and sing.

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 4: People love to sing, even if they get the lyrics wrong.

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: What happens here, well, it doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Numbers,

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: that doesn't matter. I mean it's up there written, yes,

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: but who cares.

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: So it's called west End versus Broadway.

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well you know, Broadway obviously is New York.

33
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: West End is London. So yeah, we're sort of putting

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: that little spin on it to make it sound a

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: bit more interesting. But generally whatever you see in west

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: End you'll see in London. Yeah, yes, I mean.

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Broad it'll get there eventually, yeah, yes, okay.

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: And ends up coming to Perth or Sydney or Melbourne.

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: It is an incredible list of shows. Yes, yes, well

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: this chart that you're looking at, this is a forty

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: five minute medley because we will fit all the songs in.

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we don't have the time. Yeah, those artists

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: have got so many hits. You've got to go to Medley's.

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 3: Well we have, We've done that and I think, yeah,

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: if you read through it, this comprehensive.

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: It is very comprehensive.

47
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: It kicks off with hello, which makes perfect sense from

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: Book of Mormon. Such a fabulous scene into you know,

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,560

00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: Tour in Sydney, Okay, and we did mainly all the clubs.

126
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: Don't forget she wasn't excuse me, she wasn't as big

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: and popular as she got ye with the big comeback. Yeah, yeah,

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: so we're just before the big comeback. Yes, but you know,

Speaker 3: said hello and did our best to promote her in Sydney,

131
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: and I think Roger Davies picked her up. He did. Yeah,

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: he was the manager of sur and Sherbert and Shet Yeah,

133
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: Sherbert Church. We actually did the Sherbert's Last Ever to

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh did you really? Yeah, and it ended in Perth

135
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: at the White Sands Hotel. That was the last night.

136
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: It was very sad. Yeah.

137
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I sort of went their own ways, and Daryl's

138
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: found his own way and Darth Porter became a producer and.

139
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah it's all writer. Then they've all done well, yeah,

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: they have absolutely Just.

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: Speaking of great comebacks in the eighties, what about John

142
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: Farnham's amazing career in that documentary about his life.

143
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: Well, you know, John Farnum makes sure we we did

144
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: three shows with him at the maruver Seals Club right

145
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: as John Farnham, and he didn't sort of do that well,

146
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think you did seven and

147
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: eight hundreds, which in those days was good but not

148
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: thousands like nowadays. Yeah. Yeah, but he was excellent with

149
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: the Little Riverband. Yeah, and we did two shows with

150
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: him with a Little River Band. That was that was good.

151
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: That were interesting times.

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

153
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I think you after you've done the Sing

154
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: Out Loud show, you might have to do just one

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: of those talking shows we talked about all these people

156
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: that you've worked with over the years when it would

157
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: be fascinating.

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. God, as long as you plenty of time. Yeah.
