Following the demise of Weddings Parties Anything , Thomas embarked on a solo music career . In 1998 he issued his debut solo album , '' Under Starter 's Orders : Live at the Continental '' , which was recorded during various solo performances from 1997 to 1998 , while still a member of that group . Allmusic 's Aaron Badgley was impressed by the audience participation " wonderful to hear the audience know ' Step in Step Out ' and to hear the pride in Thomas 's voice " . Aside from his own material Thomas is also a record producer and engineer for other artists . In March 1998 he produced the debut album , '' Fisherman ’s Daughter '' by Perth-born singer , Kavisha Mazzella . In January 1999 he supported a tour by Elvis Costello . In October that year a track , " Our Sunshine " , co-written by Thomas and Kelly appeared on the Paul Kelly and Uncle Bill album '' Smoke '' . In 2010 Kelly recalled working with Thomas " Mick was the right person for the song I hand in mind . We 'd played and sung together often and shared an interest in folk music and Australian history . I had the beginnings of a melody , a few lines and , most importantly , a title – ' Our Sunshine ' ... Mick and I knocked off the song by lunch " . At the ARIA Music Awards of 2000 , Thomas was nominated for ' Best Blues and Roots Album ' for '' Under Starter 's Orders ''
