Biography
British-born Australian musician and song-writer most commonly associated with the Australian rules football anthems "Up There Cazaly", referring to 1920s and 30s St Kilda player Roy Cazaly and "One Day in September". His song "Up There Cazaly" topped the Australian singles charts in September 1979 and briefly held the record as best-selling Australian single. Both songs have become synonymous with Australian rules football and are traditionally sung on AFL Grand Final day in September.
Brady also wrote "You're here to win" (1982) as the theme song for the XII Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia. He has also penned songs for popular Australian artists such as John Farnham and Tina Arena and produced albums by Arena and Colleen Hewett.
