Daryl Braithwaite

Can we change the subject a little bit? I heard this, uh, interesting story, uh, overnight.

There are reports that Daryl Braithwaite, the legendary Daryl Braithwaite, is back in the studio with Garth Porter, the bloke who was always part of the songwriting team for Sherbet.

They were massive 50 years ago.

They've been going f- 50 years plus.

I'm sure he has.

He'd do Daryl Braithwaite's Horses.

Horses.

Yeah, well, what a

So there's that, which is obviously very timely, and there's also this.

See if you can pick it from Daryl Braithwaite.

And eventually they rise, yes they rise, and they rise in their own way.

Yes, it didn't take long.

He's singing about interest rates.

So Noah & the Whale or Daryl Braithwaite, you choose, 0487999882.

Your text messages will decide which of those tunes is our musical interlude later on in the program.

Our first break on the program is coming right now at 18 minutes past 3 o'clock.

I mean, these days he seems to be, he and Dave seem to be the driving forces together, but yeah.

they they definitely as i said they're launching the stone and it's me just kind of like trying to add the little bits and pieces of polish here and there there were definitely decisions that dave wanted to do that myself and paul harris the a and r were like are we sure should we do that and of course you know we all know how it went so obviously he made the right decision and uh the end of the day i think that's a little bit my production style is very much i do try and remember that the artist is the one who has to walk away and perform that work for possibly the rest of their career i mean you know i don't know how they feel about it if john farnham's you're the voice or daryl braithwaite's the horses if they if there's anything that they hated about the production and really fought for and were overruled on that They've been singing those songs for however many years.

They have to have lived with that.

So I really hope that whoever produced it with them, let them have their way on anything they felt strongly about.

Um, no, I mean, I, it's just, it's, we're gonna get one song.

It's got, like, Daryl Braithwaite, Horses, written all over it.

They'll do a medley.

They'll do a medley.

They mostly did their time in pubs and they had to learn to engage a pub And we were pretty tough critics.

You look at Shirley Strawn from Skyhooks, Daryl Braithwaite from Sherbet, Barnsey and Cold Chisel, Mark Hunter from Dragon, originally from New Zealand.

Daryl Braithwaite, good-looking bloke.

Mark Hunter,

yeah.

I think she does have other songs, yes, but she did not want to sing that.

And it reminded me of a friend of mine who went to a party once where Daryl Braithwaite had been hired to come to the party and do the entertainment.

And guess what? He refused to sing The Horses.

He says, I'm tired of that song.

The whole party...

Like it ruined the party having Daryl Braithwaite and he didn't want to sing horses.

And it's like Tones and I are going, I don't want to sing Dance Monkey.

Turned it down.

I think she's amazing.

Daryl Braithwaite was having his comeback in 1989 as well.

One Summer was one of his huge hits.

Great song.

Yes.

I'll have to listen to that again.

Well, I think if you got my book, you'd suddenly realise that John Farnham features on a number of Daryl Braithwaite's solo hits, as does Shirley Straughan.

Oh, that's nice.
