Prince.

That’s a really tough one. The Berlin Wall – coming down not being built of course! It would have been amazing.

Favourite song of all time?
Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin.

Best artist you’ve worked with?
Paul Kelly definitely. He’s a lovely and very generous with his song writing; he’s always giving Linda and me songs to sing and trying to encourage us to write because we’re a little bit lazy! He’s a wonderful person.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?
I’ve got so many it’s ridiculous! Every day I embarrass myself, it’s true. I don’t care, I’m past that age to worry anymore. I embarrass the hell out of my daughter and I think it’s really funny.

9. The funniest moment on stage?
When Joe Camilleri threw a tantrum on stage and kicked his amp and threw his guitar across the stage – that would be the funniest moment. He had a real rock star tantrum, it was hilarious. I was like ‘yep I’ve arrived, I’ve seen it all now’.
