Dan Robinson (born 15 March 1947 in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia) is a singer who fronted the second incarnation of Melbourne Sixties band, The Wild Cherries and was later a member of the vocal trio The Virgil Brothers.[1]
He attended Melbourne Grammar School where he was a boarder and played the bass in the School Orchestra. He graduated from the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne with B. Mus (Composition).[citation needed]
Following his work with The Wild Cherries and The Virgil Brothers, in 1970 Robinson recorded a cover of Cat Stevens' recent song Wild World. The single was released under the name Fourth House and entered the charts nationally around Australia.[2]
In the 1970s and 80s he played in his country band Hit & Run while he also worked as a session musician.[3][4]
During the 1980s he moved to Tasmania and established a business making instruments.[1][5] He is now a highly regarded Luthier based at Anglesea.
Robinson joined The Wild Cherries in 2002 when they reformed for a one-off concert at the Corner Hotel in Richmond.[1]
