  • A Little Piece of Peace by Digby Richards
    This episode is on one of the true pioneers of Australian music, Digby Richards and his 1972 hit song A Little Piece of Peace. When released as a single by RCA Records in June 1971, A Little Piece of Peace reached 14 on the Australian charts – a dozens years after his first hit record, Digby was back on the charts again. Sadly, Digby died in 1983 of pancreatic cancer, he was just 42-years-old. His musical legacy lives on and we hope this episode pays tribute to his contribution to Australian music. Our special guest is Digby's former drummer and friend Leon Isackson, as well as Digby's younger brother Doug Richards.

  • REISSUE: Dig Richards & The R 'Jays
    In the early days of Rock 'n' Roll, Dig Richards & the R'Jays were one of the biggest bands in the land. With his movie-star good looks, Dig was Australia's very first teenage idol, and with his band the R'Jays, they were at the forefront of the Rock 'n' Roll revolution in in Australia. They were the first Aussie band to release a full-length album through Festival Records and as a live act, they were as popular as any local band. They also appeared on many of  Lee Gordon’s Big Shows and they played alongside the touring American superstars, more than holding their own.

  • Pride / 20 Miles / Fool Fool Fool by Ray Brown & The Whispers
    In the Mid 1960’s Ray Brown and The Whispers were as big as any other band in Australia. Their popularity rivalled that of Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs and The Easybeats. Incredibly the bands first three singles went straight to the top, going all the way to number 1 on the Sydney charts. The bands fourth single reached number 2.  They may not hold the reverence as a band that they once did, however, for many fans of the day, Ray Brown and The Whispers are still regarded as one of our finest bands of the time. Thanks to The Whispers guitarist Lawrie Barclay for the use of his memoirs for this episode and thank you to Dean Mackin for providing the voice of Lawrie.
