From the early years as finalist for best vocalist in the Battle of the Bands, to Lead Guitar/Vocalist with the Boomers, there have been too many gigs to mention. There were early years as Australian Ballroom Dance Champion too, before the Aussie Rock Music Scene took over.
From the late seventies and eighties there were Guitar/Vocal stints in “Audium”, “Hot Sally”, “Tarquin” and “The Gangsters”, before three years in England. Tarquin had an iconic hit record in “Summer Ladies”. The Gangsters had several single record releases Australia wide, headlining and supporting the big overseas names at over 1500 gigs!
A return to Oz saw a busy period with “Twist and Shout”, “Get Ready”, “Daze Of Woodstock”, “Wilbury Twist”, “Dylan Covered” “The Tornadoes”, and TV appearances for over a decade, including a gig as backing vocalist with Joe Walsh. All this has led to an impressive repertoire of over 400 crowd pleasing songs.
Back to basics as a soloist, playing crowd pleasers, ‘60’s, 70’s, 80’s, standards, Rockin’ Blues, and the most popular current hits.
Quote: “The most important part of the gig is to make sure the audience has been entertained”. – Billy Mawer
