Greg  rise to prominence has come largely from his work on the radio, singing about cricket and footy (AFL).  He has been a member of the institutional ABC radio show The Coodabeen Champions for thirty-five years.
Greg came to the nation’s attention in 1986 with the release of a single, ‘I Made a 100 In The Backyard At Mum’s’.  It was the leading track on an Australia All Over album, with ABC’s ‘Macca’, that sold over 150,000 copies.  In 1994, Channel 7 took up his anthem ‘That’s The Thing About Football’ as a theme for their AFL broadcasts over several years.
This penchant for sport songs led to Greg and the Coodabeens singing on the ground at three AFL Grand Finals, and at two Adelaide Grand Finals.  There have been several appearances on the MCG and SCG during international cricket matches.
Meanwhile Champs has pursued a career in the Aussie Country Music and Folk scenes.  He’s attended twenty-two Tamworth Festivals and has been awarded a Golden Guitar and two comedy songwriting gongs.  Since 1990 Champs has released around thirty albums on Australian, footy, cricket, Country, comedy and Chistmas themes.  His wacky Aussie Christmas CD with Colin Buchanan has achieved double platinum sales and the pleasure of having their bent Chrissy songs sung at school carol nights across the nation.
Greg’s song titles reveal something about him: May Your Fridge Be Full Of Coldies, The Devil Went down To Dubbo, The Holly & The Ivy The Feral Pig & Cane Toad,  Still Haven’t Been on Burke’s Backyard, and Never Turn Right at Burke Road Malvern.
