🎉 Happy Birthday to an Aussie music legend — Daryl Braithwaite! 🎉
Today we celebrate one of the true icons of Australian music, born 11 January 1949. From fronting Sherbet with classics like Howzat to gifting the nation the timeless anthem The Horses, Daryl’s voice has been part of our soundtrack for decades.
Whether it’s a pub, a festival, a backyard BBQ or a packed stadium, the moment those opening notes of The Horses hit, the whole country sings along. That’s the magic of Daryl — pure joy, pure nostalgia, pure Australia.
🎂 Happy Birthday, Daryl!
Thanks for the memories, the music, and the moments we’ll never forget.
Drop your favourite Daryl Braithwaite song or memory in the comments and let’s celebrate this legend properly. 🐎✨

NOW, on SANDY KAYE PRESENTS: A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

He’s one of rock’s most recognisable musicians. Graham Nash been making music for more than 60 years, first with English band The Hollies then as Crosby Stills and Nash and later when Neil Young joined them, as CSNY. At 80 years young, Graham Nash has just recently released a new solo album. It’s a live record that spans 20 tracks that was recorded over the course of four shows he’d booked prior to the pandemic. During our chat Graham tells us why CSNY can no longer make music together since losing their connection, where he stands on life and society in general and about his passion for photography and the release of his new photographic book called Life in Focus.
