Sunshine State Official theme song of the Qld Centenary Celebrations

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Sunshine State by prolific Queensland composer Clyde Collins was written for the centenary of Queensland in 1959. It is still performed regularly by bands and choirs, especially on Queensland Day, 6 June. The State Library owns the Clyde Collins Papers, a collection of his musical compositions, arrangements, and writings. Songwriter, harmonicist, and clarinetist Horrie Dargie (1917-1999) recorded the song in 1959 with the famous Horrie Dargie Quintet. The quintet’s farewell concert in Sydney Town Hall before their tour of England (1952) became Australia’s first Gold Record, selling 75,000 copies. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/sunshine-state
