The 1997 ARIA Awards!
Oh, the 'sacrifice of sitting in the VIP room asking Savage Garden lots of nosy
questions, like, how it feels to win, and how it feels to win, and how it feels to
win(snip!)...and tripping over camera crew cables. Then after all the awards had been
given, trotting off to Sydney Town Hall to rub shoulders with the stars at the after-
awards bash! It was tough, but we pulled through. After all, it was all in a night's work
for the Hit's crew!
Savage Success
Savage Garden walked away (or more precisely drove away in a 10 tonne truck) with
more ARIA Awards than anyone in it's ten-year history. The duo trotted up to the
podium so many times they wore the carpet bare. Darren was in a tizz. Daniel was up
to his neck in show biz (or something) and the awards just kept rolling out...
