On the Best of Friday Night Live this week we head back to 2013 where Dave Dobbyn undertook a series of collaborative concerts with invited songwriters, both emerging and established. Featuring Graham Brazier, Mark Vanilau, Scribe, Marlon Williams, The Terrible Sons, Iva Lamkum and Anna Coddington, the performers joined him on stage for their favourite Dave Dobbyn songs, and he in turn played on theirs.
