The band toured Australia and overseas, performing with major acts including Brian Adams and Hall and Oats. Wendy has since fronted various Melbourne-based music groups including Wendy Stapleton Band and now performs alongside husband Paul Norton .

Melbourne Day celebrates the founding of Melbourne - 30 August 1835. Melbourne Day Committee coordinates activities and events to educate citizens on the history of their city and clarify the historical events about who actually discovered Melbourne. Melbourne was founded by European settlers who sailed from Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) aboard the schooner Enterprize. They landed on the north bank of the Yarra River and established the first permanent settlement, close to the Immigration Museum at the Old Customs House — on the corner of William and Flinders streets — and the place today known as Enterprize Park. Melbourne Day Committee works with tourism industry partners and businesses to develop, promote and deliver a program of events to celebrate the founding of our city and showcase all that is great about Melbourne. The aim is to raise awareness and clarify historical events surrounding the foundation of Melbourne whilst acknowledging the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as this land's traditional owners. .

  • CX 23 Countdown 30-41
    FEATURE BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH CX had trouble keeping away when far too many of the old bands we once worked with were dusted off and shown off with brand new production values. Julius Grafton went way down memory lane….. 30 CX 15 NOVEMBER 2006 pectacular it was, and value for money at almost four hours running Stime. Countdown kicked off at 7.30 with John Paul Young singing alone on the thrust stage and a bunch of dance students doing a 2006 version of the Countdown TV show audience - hands outreached, hair akimbo. Half way through ‘Yesterdays Hero’ the rear revolve produces the house band whose work will back most of the acts. There was the voice from the box, Gavin Wood who bantered effortlessly with host Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum. Molly was the reason Countdown was such a central part of the music industry for two decades, and he is the reason that Michael Gudinski’s Frontier Touring show worked so well. In the first fifteen minutes there were four acts rolled out, looking and sounding as good as the house band and a professional production could make them. Within the first half hour there was rock greatness with the likes of Choirboys showing that you can still manage a long career and play like you mean it. There was cheese, courtesy of the irrepressible Brian Mannix of the Unfunny X-Men, and there was deja-vu with Cheetah, the sister act that came on looking quite fabulous. Real star quality emerged early with Leo Sayer who managed to engage with a female member of the audience, undo Introducing the new WMS400 wireless system from her hair and lay her on the floor of the AKG, which combines ease of use and innovative stage for a kiss, without missing a line of technology with these additional key features and the ballad.

He died in Melbourne on September 12, 2001, as a result of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Although I became A aware of Adrian Rawlins’ work and reputation quite soon after arriving in Australia in 1960, and we had met a few times in later years, it was not until the late ‘90s that I really got to know him well. You could even say we became mates, a term that I use very sparingly. We actually caught up with each other on a gray Melbourne day in Roger Beilby’s Mainly Jazz record shop at St Kilda. We subsequently went to lunch and, each of us having a deep interest in the poetry and jazz movements of the late ‘50s discussed several potential collaborative writing projects on that topic. With his help and permission, I re-edited his fine essay on jazz and poetry in Melbourne in the ‘60s, which had appeared some years before in the Victorian Jazz Club’s Jazzline, and published it in my own WordJazz Down Under.
