Dino dropped into the Big Brekky circus for a chat and did well to get a word in edgeways! His last single 'Can't Keep Still' was only kept out of the AIR charts No.1 spot by Kylie Minogue, no shame in that. His latest offering 'When The Day Comes' is an uplifting, hand-clapping singalong number that is bound to do equally well. Check out more here.

Canberra Country Rock band – Brewn (pronounced Brewin)– release their brand new single, “Paper Aeroplanes”,today - Friday 19th November. The anticipated new track is the band’s first in three years and is lifted from their forthcoming third album due next year. “Paper Aeroplanes” is a song that reflects on times of hardship, when people around you cast doubt on your abilities and even more so, you cast doubt on yourself. It’s about lifting up and being the best ‘you’ you can be. Wrap it all up, cast it out into the world and let it free! Michael from the band joined Andy and Michelle for a lively and broad reaching Big Brekky chat. More about Brewn here.
