Aussie funk band The Temple of Groove featuring Andrew Worboys performing at The Basement, Sydney, 2008.
A Worboys co-production with Alex Taylor and Rob Taylor, a cover of FINGER ON THE TRIGGER for Aussie legend Deni Hines. Here's a sample of the track along with Andrew's original song Beautiful People, produced by Winston and Yoddy.
"This boy's range dips and dives through a middle-of-the-road mix of classic standards, pop arias and musical theatre hits, and he switches style to pin them all. He ís no mainstream rock screamer, which means his talent will have every chance to grow and ripen in the comfortable slipstream of the limelight." Sunday Mail
"Daniel Mallari's vocal talent moves from Rock to Opera with amazing ease, while those who have seen him perform will attest, his smile lights up the whole room."
