Jamie Dunn (born 12 August 1950) began his early performing days as a singer-songwriter and as drummer for the Brisbane band Hands Down. He then joined another Brisbane band Burke and Wills 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. The band played at the Mulwala Festival held at Yarrawonga in the same year. In 1973 they supported Lobo on his tour of Australia. They released two singles on the Image label before disbanding in 1974. Dunn signed on with the Astor label as a solo artist releasing five singles and an album from 1975 to 1980. During this period he also released a single on the Warner Bros label. Jamie Dunn moved into television, working the puppet Agro on Agro's Cartoon Connection, Seven's Super Saturday and The Super Sunday Show.
