He was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1997.

He continues to cross musical boundaries. Recent albums include the bluegrass-inspired Foggy Highway, the wide ranging double set, Ways & Means and Stolen Apples. The Triple J tribute album Before Too Long, released earlier this year, featuring John Butler, Missy Higgins, Megan Washington, Paul Dempsey, Ozi Batla and many others is evidence of his influence on generations of musicians.

Paul Kelly collaborated with Megan Washington to create an original composition for KAGE's Sundowner.

Washington was born in Papua New Guinea,  and is currently based in Melbourne, Australia. In late 2008 she launched her current band, Washington, with Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos), John Castle, Des White, Ross Irwin and Ryan Monro (The Cat Empire, Jackson Jackson) on bass. The band released their debut EP, Clementine, in 2008. In November 2008 they were announced as Triple J's Unearthed winners and performed at the Melbourne Big Day Out. This was followed by the release of a second EP, How to Tame Lions in September 2009. Following appearances on Spicks and Specks and RocKwiz, Washington attracted the attention of a wider audience. In December 2009 she won the inaugural Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition for her song, "How to Tame Lions". The competition was conducted by APRA/AMCOS and was open to all songwriters across Australia. She then went on to perform a duet with Keith Urban at his Rod Laver Arena concert in Melbourne. In early 2010 Washington sang on an acoustic cover version of Ross Wilson's "Bed of Nails" which was used as the main song of the ABC1 TV drama series Bed of Roses starring Kerry Armstrong. She has also appeared on Network Ten's program Good News Week as a guest for the Strange But True segment, and once as a member of the panel. In October 2010 Washington performed live during YouTube Play, an event produced in partnership between YouTube and the Guggenheim Museum. Washington won two 2010 ARIA Music Awards, Best Female Artist and Breakthrough Artist, and received a further three nominations: Album of the Year, Best Adult Alternative Album for I Believe You Liar and Single of the Year ("How to Tame Lions").

Megan Washington and Paul Kelly worked together on "It Wasn't Night or Day" for KAGE's Sundowner.

"I was asked to write a song for a play and talked about the idea to Megan. A week later she sent me a tune and some words that knocked me sideways. When I'd picked myself up I suggested some edits and added a few more words. Then she sang the song into a tape recorder at my place. The play people were very happy. And I was amazed. The music just pours out of her. I hope we write some more songs together. All I need to do is bring the jug and make the tea.' Paul Kelly

For over 65 years the famous Tivoli Theatre provided Melbourne with colourful, vaudeville, variety review style shows. A permanent attraction of Tivoli shows was the Tivoli Lovelies – the showgirls known then as the best in the business. In 1994, 'the girls' reformed, in what started as a social dance class to catch up with each other for fun and fitness. From a single performance in that year the girls are now much in demand recreating all the magic, glamour and excitement from the great days of the Tivoli. With a combined age of 725 they are still bringing smiles to the faces of all those who see them. They have appeared on Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton, Rove Live, The Don Lane Show, Denise Drysdale Show, and in various movies, commercials and short films, as well as supporting many not-for-profit organisations and charities. In 2004 they gained recognition from their peers with a 'Lifetime Achievement Award' from Actors Equity & the MEAA and, in 2005, they were awarded special recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records for the 'Oldest Professional Chorus Line'.

Michael Leunig was born in East Melbourne in 1945, a slaughterman's son and the second eldest of five children. He was educated at various state schools, kitchen tables, paddocks, rubbish tips, loopholes and abattoirs in Melbourne's industrial Western suburbs. Enid Blyton, Arthur Mee, Salinger, Milligan and The Beatles were early creative influences and his political consciousness intensified radically upon reading his notice of military conscription sent to him from the Australian government in 1965. He fled from formal education and pursued a successful career as a factory labourer and meatworker where he nurtured his art and philosophy before beginning work as a daily newspaper cartoonist in Melbourne in 1969. The Penguin Leunig, his first book of collected cartoons, was published in 1974 and since then he has produced twenty more collections including books of poetry and prayer. His prints, paintings and drawings have been exhibited broadly and are held in various public and private collections. In 1999 he was declared a national living treasure by the National Trust and awarded honorary degrees from La Trobe and Griffith Universities and the Australian Catholic University for his unique contribution to Australian culture. His work appears regularly in the Melbourne Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.

Michel is working closely with Kate Denborough and KAGE on Look Right Through Me.
