A self-confessed child of rock 'n' roll, he began singing in 1962 with a vocal group called the  Twilights. By 1965, the  Twilights became a six piece "beat group" based in Melbourne scoring hits with "Needle in a Haystack", "What's Wrong with the Way I Live?", "Cathy Come Home" and "Young Girl", before disbanding in 1969. Axiom with Brian Cadd followed shortly thereafter, with hits including "Arkansas Grass" and "Little Ray of Sunshine". Axiom disbanded soon after moving to London in 1970. Glenn chose to remain in London as a session singer and songwriter working with other ex-pats and Europeans in a twelve-piece rock orchestra named  Esperanto. At the conclusion of 1974, Glenn returned to Melbourne to help form Little River Band as lead singer. Little River Band cracked the United States market in 1976, and began a string of eight Top Ten Hits in the U.S.A. and around the world. The band has sold in excess of 25 million albums, often being credited for opening the door for many Australian acts on the international circuit. In 1995, Glenn fronted Little River Band during their 20th year anniversary. His songwriting credits include the international hits "Help is on its Way", "Emma", "Home on Monday" (co-writer Beeb Birtles), and "Cool Change". Glenn's latest CD was released in 2000: "Spin Me 'Round", co-produced with Brian Cadd. Glenn's credentials extend to all fields of show business, notably in theatre and cabaret. He starred in Evita and  The Rocky Horror Show, in addition to his own productions: One for the Money,  Go Cat Go and Two Up. A career highlight was producing and performing alongside Sir George Martin in the highly acclaimed production  All You Need Is Beatles (1998). He performed the role of Johnny Casino in the smash hit  Grease: The Arena Spectacular!, which played to full houses across Australia and in Auckland, and co-starred in  British Rock Symphony with Eric Burdon and Thelma Houston, performing the hits of the  Beatles,  Led Zeppelin,  Pink Floyd,  Rolling Stones and  The Who. In 2001 he joined the cast in the inaugural production of  Australian Night At The Proms at the Sydney SuperDome.
