THE PRODIGAL SONS



In 1967 Brian Godden took a job in Noumea playing to the holiday crowds with other members of Sydney band The Grape Escape, though not using that name. ''We played pasadoble and tangos because being a French country they love those sort of tunes. Then we’d play some jazz tunes and then we’d do some rock and roll. We had a good time over there.''

With batteries recharged Brian decided to come back to Australia in 1968 and he quickly found work with folk musician Alex Hood. The two performed as The Prodigal Sons for about a year. In that time, they recorded a single, ''The Didgeridoo/The Girl On The Five Dollar Note'', released by Parlophone Australia in 1969 and also did a series of broadcasts for schools.
