THE ROSE HAS A THORN (Wright) Peter Wright. Memories Are Made Of This EMI, 2005

In mid-2000 Peter was invited to submit lyrics for the Song Of The Century project, which was being conducted by the Queensland Government’s
Premier’s Department to be featured in the 2001 Centenary Of Federation celebrations. This project carried a prize-money of $2000.00 for the
chosen entry. Peter’s lyric A Feeling Called Queensland was unanimously chosen from several hundred submissions.

Peter Wright Revival bass-player Roger Hill supplied this demonstration record of singer Gary Jameson
performing at the Playroom in 1972, supported by the musical ensemble of The Peter Wright Revival.

Gary was an opening act at the Playroom, and on the nights the tape was set to roll to record the Peter Wright
Revival Live at the Playroom album, Peter graciously agreed that since it was set up to record, selected
parts of Jameson’s floorshow could also be recorded as a theatrical agency demo. for Gary.

The record contains four songs with the first three tracks - Love Me With All Your Heart / Lucky Ol’ Sun and
The Impossible Dream being recorded before a live audience, and with The Peter Wright Revival providing
the instrumental backing. However, the final track - The Wonder Of You, was recorded after the audience had left,
with the band also providing harmony vocals.

The Playroom although hard wired for recording, had no in house recording system of studio quality - but when
the occasion called for it, the necessary equipment would be installed in.

Some significant occasions where this happened in addition to the Peter Wright Revival Live at The Playroom
recording and also under the fine touch and direction of Playroom sound and lighting director Bob Garland were:

- Johnny O’Keefe Live on the Gold Coast (Calendar) released in June 1968
- Rim D. Paul That’s Live (Phillips) recorded in January 1969
- The vocal track to Johnny O’Keefe’s single Confessions of a Lonely Man (released January 1970)
- Bob Garland also produced recordings of The Delltones Live at the Playroom which have never been released.
