Shirley Smith began her career in the music business in 1967, when she and her brother John, as the Same Day Twins won the Festival of Perth Talent Quest. The Same Day Twins performed around Perth with such acts as “The Shadows” and Billy Thorpe and appeared on Club 17, the local teenage TV Show. In 1968 they toured South Vietnam with the first West Australian Concert Party, sponsored by Channel 9 and AFOF (Australian Forces Overseas Fund).
Upon their return they recorded two tracks on Martin Clarke’s Clarion label and moved to Sydney where they became Robert Stigwood’s only Australian-based act, recording two singles at EMI, released on the Festival label, making the National Top Ten in Australia and to No.3 in New Zealand.
The Same Day Twins were regular TV performers, appearing on Bandstand, The John Laws Show, The Gordon Chater Show, This Day Tonight, The Bob Rogers Show, The Brisbane Tonight Show, The Dick McCann Show, Celebrity Blind Date, The Easybeats Special, and were regulars on Rex Mossop’s Club Show – recording two tracks on the album of the same name. The duo also supported many local and international touring acts including Billy Preston, Matt Munro, Winnifred Atwell and Johnny O’Keefe.
In 1970, Shirley toured entertainment impresario Ivan Damon’s Swinger Circuit with acts including Normie Rowe, Johnny O’Keefe and Freddy Hampton, with whom she formed Trik, releasing two singles.
