After 42 years, The Sunnyboys are calling it a day. These images were obtained at the Twin Towns Resort, Gold Coast, where they played to a sold out crowd of over 1,000 people. The audience knew and sang every lyric, knowing they were witnessing history as the curtain slowly draws to a close.

As a photographer, I love nothing more than photographing bands. However when you play in a band yourself, it can become frustrating in that the time on stage takes you away from photographing your own band. This weekend, my band, The Painters and Dockers, performed with the legendary Sunnyboys. I was keen to photograph The Sunnyboys so packed my camera gear. I took the opportunity to photograph my band mates, some of which I have co-performed with for 40 years, during our sound check for the very first time.
