Kevin Borich is a New Zealand-born Australian guitarist and singer- songwriter. He was a founding member and of 'The La De Das', the leader of 'Kevin Borich Express', and a member of 'The Party Boys', as well as a session musician for numerous acts. Borich wrote "Gonna See My Baby Tonight", for The La De Das, which became a top 10 hit in 1971 on the Australian singles chart. He performed at some of Australia's biggest Rock events including the 1972 Sunbury Pop Festival and the late 1970s Rockarena tours with 60,000 people, featuring Fleetwood Mac, Santana and The Little River Band. Singer, guitarist, harmonica player and songwriter Matthew "Dutch" Tilders (b.1939) has been one of Australia's foremost blues and roots performers since the 1960s. He is one of the many prominent Australian musicians who came to this country during the era of post-WWII migration; as his nickname implies, Dutch was born in the Netherlands in 1941, and came to Australia with his parents, four brothers and a sister in 1955. At the age of ten, he joined a church choir, but by the time he was twelve, his alto voice had broken and become a baritone. When he was thirteen, he joined a boys choir at a secondary school by tricking sing the choir master into believing he was an alto when in fact he was singing falsetto (he can still produce those high falsetto notes to this day). Dutch's first year in Australia was spent in the Brooklyn Migrant Hostel in Victoria, and it was here that he gained his first experience as a performer in an amateur Black and White Minstrel Show. His first paid gig, aged only fifteen, was at the Collingwood Town Hall, where he played the harmonica. On the same bill were IMT veteran Joff Ellen and Johnny O'Keefe. Dutch was paid £2/7s/6d, which at the time equivalent to half his weeks wages at Broons timberyard in Brooklyn. It only cost two pounds and sixpence for the taxi home. He bought his first guitar in 1959 and by 1960 he was playing on Melbourne's coffee lounge folk scene. According to Noel McGrath, Dutch's first recording was made in 1961 when he cut a 10" album of songs at a friend's home studio. Making up most of his songs as he went along, he quickly settled on blues as the style that best suited his expression, and with no one to teach him, he developed his own distinctive style. In 1962 he teamed up with Shane Duckham and they became a popular fixture on the Sydney folk circuit, but in the late Sixties he performed only occasionally. However in September 1970 Dutch decided to try his luck on the popular TV talent quest New Faces, and this lighthearted decision was to change the course of his life:
