There was something special watching Daryl Braithwaite perform his no 1 hit ‘The Horses’ 25 years after it reached the top of the Australian chart. Then again, the APIA Good Times tour delivers lots of special moments.

Since Jon, Kate, JPY and Daryl first graced the charts, their fans have become parents, some even grandparents. Their collective work from the 70s to now has lasted decades and has now been heard by generations. These people are the juggernauts of the Australian music industry.
