About this event

The Countdown Years lands at Bird's Basement, leaning into the era when TV and radio set the soundtrack for the country. Expect the songs that defined Countdown, with recorded narration from the show's longtime host Gavin Wood.

Lisa Edwards (a regular alongside John Farnham) is among the voices bringing the material to life for the night.

If you grew up timing your Sundays around the show, this is a run through that catalogue rather than the original chart acts themselves.
