"A Good Thing Too"
AUNDRY restrictions are now in force in Australia, which means that stiff shirts are unobtainable. " There’s no such thing as evening dress for men in Australia now," Peter Dawson told "The Listener." " And a good thing, too. Before these restrictions came in you were expected to practise in a soft shirt and collar and then climb into an armour-plated front and be able to make the same sort of noises. It always seemed rather silly to me. "My concert platform uniform is striped trousers, black coat, and soft shirt. And it does make for comfortable singing."
