Then followed regular appearances on Six O’Clock Rock, Teen Time and Bandstand, at the Sydney Stadium, Festival Hall and over 60 national TV shows. He also fronted the band The Denvermen with whom he had a few hits.
Digger performed with some of the greats, including Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, Wayne Newton and Johnny O’Keefe. Digger also did more tours of war-torn Vietnam, than any other entertainer world wide.
He appeared on stage with Bob Hope on six occasions and made a total of 11 tours. He also did a tour of the USA with his band, staying for more than three years touring 38 states. He performed with Ike and Tina Turner, Jerry Lee Lewis, Guy Mitchell, Fats Domino, B.B.King, and Anne Margaret. D.J. Fontana, Elvis’ drummer played in Digger’s band for many of the American shows.
Digger is still performing to this day, including regular club appearances on the Gold Coast and Sydney.
