Greg Champion &amp; Gary Carruthers go back more than 35 years...playing Tamworth together like two seasoned pros.  

At the time Gary was already one of Melbourne's most renowned musicians, being 50% of the incredibly successful Dean &amp; Carruthers duo - a musical partnership that has lasted for more than 40 years, and has seen Gary play alongside country music legends Troy Cassar-Daley, Kasey Chambers, The Flood &amp; Graeme Connors, as well as trio with Mick Pealing and Gary Young.

Greg Champion on the other hand is Australia’s leading writer of AFL and cricket songs, penning several musical comedy hits since the early 80s.  His musical diversity, however, extends beyond sports fields to include more moving and descriptive songwriting capturing the emotion of Australian life in the way that John Williamson, Eric Bogle and Ted Egan are renowned for.

Growing up in Adelaide, Champs moved to Melbourne in 1979.
By 1980, he had met with success, and his career took off as front man with ground-breaking Melbourne rock bands The Fabulaires and The Young Homebuyers, performing with Australian legends Wayne Burt (Black Sorrows, JoJo Zep), JJ Hackett (Stars, Mondo Rock) and, later in the ’80s, with Wayne Duncan and Ross Hannaford, both of Daddy Cool.

In 1983, Champs drifted into radio with the now legendary Coodabeen Champions, who have since become a sports radio institution on commercial and ABC radio over an amazing thirty years.  Parallel to his parody and comedy work and growing reputation as a radio personality and entertainer, Champs rose to national prominence in 1986 with the release of the single I Made a 100 In The Backyard At Mum’s.

This song soon became widely loved and was then chosen as the leading track on the first Australia All Over album compiled by ABC’s Ian McNamara, which sold over 150,000 copies.
In 1995, Channel 7 took up Greg’s anthem That’s The Thing About Football as a theme for their AFL broadcasts over several years.
Forging his own distinctive path through the Australian musical landscape, Greg Champion has made a significant contribution to the fabric of Australian culture.  

Gary &amp; Greg returning to Hotel Trentham together will be something special!
