Too good

More Archie Roach Archie Roach Profile

Taking over Sydney's International Convention Centre this past Monday night, Australian legend Paul Kelly took to the stage with troubadour Dan Sultan and acclaimed hip hop duo AB Original to pay a now-iconic tribute to Australian treasure Archie Roach at the 2017 APRA Awards.

Roach was awarded the prestigious Ted Albert Award For Outstanding Services To Australian Music on the night and the ceremony wrapping up with a wonderful mash-up of Roach's Took The Children Away, Briggs' The Children Came Back and Kelly's Dumb Things.

The performance was one of a number of stellar performances hosted by APRA on Monday night, including an amazing cover of Song Of The Year nomination Tim Minchin's Come Home (Cardinal Pell) by Kate Miller-Heidke.
