The Seekers plus John Farnham and Olivia Newton John as we have music in common and, hopefully, we would have a jam session afterwards.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
As a child was wetting my pants in Prep and as an adult I don’t get embarrassed very easily now.

The 60s/70s for the music, fashion and slower paced lifestyle however medical technology is much better in this era and that is important to me and my family.
What was your first or best concert?
My first concert was Donny Osmond when I was 21 however I really enjoyed The Seekers last year and Georgy Girl this year. The Pirates of Penzance with John English and Simon Gallagher a few years ago were also fantastic.
