00:00:00
Speaker 1: Gold, It's Jonesy demanded driving you home.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: Oh many of us were so so sad, and everyone was sad to see Daryl Braithwaite put this on his socials yesterday. I'd like to share this news with you all. After much thought and consideration, I've made the difficult and sad decision to step back from performing live gigs.
00:00:17
Speaker 3: For some time now.
00:00:18
Speaker 2: It's been increasingly physically challenging for me to sing comfortably, and as a result, it's taken the joy out of performing, which has always been so important to me. I've loved the fifty eight years of being part of the music industry.
00:00:30
Speaker 3: But what a guy, What a guy we've got? You know, what a guy?
00:00:33
Speaker 1: Why don't we get today?
00:00:34
Speaker 3: Cherry guy?
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Darryl Braithwait day and here he is now, the great man.
00:00:39
Speaker 3: Darryl Braithwait.
00:00:40
Speaker 4: Hello, Hello.
00:00:42
Speaker 1: How are you well.
00:00:44
Speaker 3: Now, Darrel?
00:00:44
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people would think, well, you've achieved so much, time to sit back and relax. But I can imagine this has been such a big part of your life. This must have been a very tough decision.
00:00:54
Speaker 4: It was a man, it was. It's been with me for six months and I finally when we were up in the Arctic on the beautiful cruise that we went on about two weeks ago. I thought, after the third gig and last gig, we've done an encore after the Horses, which we have never done I can't remember ever. And the song we played with how That, which was quite ironic. And then we finished and I went back to the cabin and I thought, yeah, that's it. I reckon, I'll call it quit. But I guess the main thing is that I decided, you know, to step away from live singing. I guess I wasn't enjoying it as much. The joy had gone out of it.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's hard, you know, it's freaking hard. I imagine it doesn't. You don't get to choose when your voices has to be there.
00:01:51
Speaker 4: But it never used to be hard, you know, like from going from when we start, or when I started sixty eight sixty nine used to be able to sing. And now because I'm a lot older, I think that has a bearing on it. And I just thought, no, I can't go through this every song trying to think whether I should sing in full voice for this section coming up or in falsetto to try and say that.
00:02:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean your music, your music will still be with us forever. And I think I've mentioned this to you before. My friend when I was a teenager, had a scrapbook with pictures of Sherbert, pictures of all of you guys, alongside the dogs that you most resembled, and I think you might have been the labrador.
00:02:36
Speaker 4: Lovely labrador. Yeah.
00:02:39
Speaker 1: When Amanda says a friend, was that friend, you know.
00:02:42
Speaker 2: It could easily have been, but no, this was an actual friend. But that's what I mean is you have been part of our lives for as long as we've loved music, and that's not going to change. I know people won't be able to see you live, but you're you're still going to be the seam of music you've always been.
00:02:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:02:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I only over the last twenty four hours I've only realized on reading some of the comments, I thought, thank god, it's I mean, it really does leave an impression with people. And I was flabbergasted to read some of the comments, you know, and I just thought, my god, it's so beautiful and you forget.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: That it also leave an impression with your agent, who didn't know you'd come to this decision.
00:03:27
Speaker 4: Well, the agent and as agents are. When I told him that because I had a tour coming up in November December, and I said, no, we're going to have to cancel all those gigs. He said at the end of that, well, are there any that we can save?
00:03:47
Speaker 3: Let me discuss the nature of not doing it anymore?
00:03:50
Speaker 1: Sure, your head could be in a jar and your agent will still.
00:03:55
Speaker 3: Can you get some electrodes into it?
00:03:57
Speaker 4: On?
00:03:57
Speaker 3: Mate?
00:03:59
Speaker 4: But I mean probably he probably was thinking I'll try it on.
00:04:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what agent's too. That's that's what's gonna happen. We were just talking to Foxy.
00:04:08
Speaker 5: Here is one of our audio guns, and we just had a debate about the song you did Old Sid. And I know that Old Sid is about the authors Warren Morgan, Warren Morgan, and it's about his father. He said it's about a dog.
00:04:21
Speaker 3: I thought it was about a dog, I must say. And fox he thought it was about a dog.
00:04:24
Speaker 1: And I said, no, it's about Warren Morgan's father.
00:04:28
Speaker 4: That's correct. There you go correct. What about a dog?
00:04:32
Speaker 3: Not even a labrador?
00:04:33
Speaker 4: Darryl? Well, maybe you know.
00:04:38
Speaker 5: What, when when you're retired, can we just talk to you? Can we just because you might be retired from singing, but I don't think you're retired from us. So would it be okay if if we just you know you, just we I love having you in our life and you've been in a manner of my life for a long time. So can we just continue that. Just get the you know, you might be camping around the place, talk to you about camping nowhere whatever? Can we get the Daryl report?
00:05:04
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, most definitely.
00:05:05
Speaker 3: And I'm not good at camping though, Daryl, just so you know, ah.
00:05:09
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, that sounds like James Ray.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: Doesn't like have you ever have you been camping with James Ray?
00:05:17
Speaker 4: Oh? No, I've mentioned it to him one time down in Tasmania, said one.
00:05:22
Speaker 1: And James wants a back beach for the summer and a chalet for the snow.
00:05:28
Speaker 5: Nice work, well, mate, you have given us so much in our lives, and seriously we thank you.
00:05:35
Speaker 1: Thank you for just being you and enjoy enjoy your lot of love.
00:05:39
Speaker 4: Okay, and thank you to your audience for putting up with us and enjoying.
00:05:44
Speaker 5: No I've done, mate, I'm already always ready to do an introduction for you, mate, wherever you go I'm happy to do.
00:05:53
Speaker 3: Anything, even say the toilet block when you're camping is Daryl.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen put your photos.
00:06:00
Speaker 4: On to that too. That introduction, oh god, yes, that's right.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: My introductions are very good. I'll have you know.
00:06:07
Speaker 4: I know I'm not to know anyway. I think we're a bad line now.
00:06:15
Speaker 5: Daryl's doing an ace freely honest Darryl. Thank you so much.
00:06:19
Speaker 1: Mate. You look after yourself and and don't be a stranger. Okay, we'll do
