Show Notes

In the early days of Rock 'n' Roll, Dig Richards & the R'Jays were one of the biggest bands in the land.

With his movie-star good looks, Dig was Australia's very first teenage idol, and with his band the R'Jays, they were at the forefront of the Rock 'n' Roll revolution in in Australia.

They were the first Aussie band to release a full-length album through Festival Records and as a live act, they were as popular as any local band.

They also appeared on many of  Lee Gordon’s Big Shows and they played alongside the touring American superstars, more than holding their own.
