BURKE AND WILLS / PLATTER PUSHERS

Brisbane band Burke and Wills were formed in 1969. They had a residency on the ABC TV show Eyeforce for one year in 1970 under the name The Platter Pushers. Under that moniker they recorded a single on RCA in 1971, ''As Long As There’s A Twinkle In Your Sprinkle/ Make A Move''. The band worked locally until 1972 when they moved to Melbourne. In 1973 they supported Lobo on his tour of Australia. They released two singles on the Image label before disbanding in 1974. Peter Moscos would join Laurie Stone as a duo (Moscos and Stone) and have chart success. Jamie Dunn moved into television, working the puppet Agro on Agro's Cartoon Connection, Seven's Super Saturday and The Super Sunday Show. Peter Moscos died in Sydney in 2003 of cancer.
