RocKwiz – ‘Hey Ya’
‘It is an honour to be part of Mushroom’s 50th birthday celebrations,” Julia said in a press statement.
“The stories of a 21-year-old Michael Gudinski starting this company are wonderful and have always held me in their thrall. Rockwiz salutes Mushroom will take you on that journey with stories, tributes, and the power of some of the best music our country has produced.”
While Brian added: “Mushroom acts have been a constant source of inspiration for RocKwiz since we
began … in terms of the questions we ask, or the artists that we feature … so to celebrate this iconic organisation is a thrill and an honour”.
He continued: “My overflowing music collection, on singles, albums or CDs, is dominated by Mushroom acts who’ve been given the encouragement and support essential to continue lighting our lives and keeping us dancing. RocKwiz and Mushroom… rock and roll nirvana”,” he continued.”.
Some of Mushroom’s most iconic acts include Skyhooks, Split Enz, Paul Kelly, Kylie Minogue, Jimmy Barnes and Vance Joy.
