It’s a pleasure to welcome iconic singer/songwriter and ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductee Darryl Braithwaite to the Twilight at Taronga stage in 2023.

Braithwaite went on to embark on a highly successful solo career which included a #1 ARIA Album Chart for his album ‘Edge’ (1988) featuring the hit singles ‘As The Days Go By’ and ‘One Summer’. Braithwaite’s 1990 follow up album ‘Rise’ included the single ‘The Horses’ which reached #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart and to this day remains an anthem for generations of Australians.
