Greg Champion

Greg Champion is part humourist, part folkie, half hippy, half bogan, part Victorian and completely South Australian.

Champs has probably crossed your radar through his shows around Australia at rural Community Halls, Sports Clubs, corporate gigs and folk and country music festivals as a musician, comedian or compere.

Greg drifted into radio in 1983 on a fledgling public radio program, The Coodabeen Champions. He's now been a member of the institutional Coodabeens on ABC radio for twenty-three years, developing and sharing his particular brand of Aussie songs along the way.

It was 1985 when Macca of ABC's Australia All Over started flogging Greg's I Made a Hundred in the Backyard At Mum's. Since then Champs has become known for songs like Cricket's On The Radio, May Your Fridge Be Full Of Coldies, Still Haven't Been on Burke's Backyard, That's The Thing About Football, Sensitive New Age Guys From the Bush, his Aussie Christmas CDs with Colin Buchanan and a collaboration with Jim Haynes & Ted Egan on Don't Call Wagga Wagga Wagga.
