THE GLOBOS


The Globos were a musical comedy cabaret group formed in Melbourne in 1980 by Mark Trevorrow (famously known as Bob Downe) and Wendy De Waal. Their first single "Tintarella Di Luna'' reached the Top 40 and was featured many times on Countdown. Mark and Wendy hosted the Countdown show on two occasions. ''The Beat Goes On'', was their second single release and also charted well. The group mimed old records and commercials, in a loving and hilarious recreation of early Australian TV pop shows, and then recorded and mimed their own material. Wendy De Waal died in January 2022 after a six-month battle with cancer. Not only was she a member of The Globos she was a hairdresser and makeup artist to the stars working on everything from Moulin Rouge to Wolverine to Star Wars to Strictly Ballroom and a thousand productions in between.
