Bernard Fanning’s trip down memory lane

There are certain bands that are part of the fabric of Double J and triple j. Powderfinger is one of them.

As we trek through the Take 5 archives, I want to take you back to summer 2015, when triple j was celebrating our 40th birthday. It was such an amazing time: we got to connect to dots between the original Double Jay to triple j to our new Double J family. Former presenters jumped on air, we played heaps of wonderful memories across our networks, and we celebrated with a massive concert in Sydney’s Domain called Beat the Drum.

Right before the gig, I asked Bernard to come in and Take 5. He and Powderfinger have so many memories with triple j, not just as a band but as listeners too. So get ready for a trip down triple j memory lane.
