James Reyne still performs this song as main vocals on stage in honour of his former school and band friend to this day as part of the James Reyne band.
Other current members also include-
Tracy Kingman- Session and Backing Vocals
Brett Kingman- Acoustic and rhythm guitar (a role which Guy McDonough was renowned for)
Andy McIvor- Bass guitar
John Watson- Drums
