Since then he has played with From Scratch, The Whizz Kids, The Bellbirds, and The Plague, and composed several pieces for the Limbs Dance Company.
McGlashan won the 'Best Song' award in the 1982 New Zealand Music Awards, for the Blam Blam Blam song Don't Fight It Marsha, It's Bigger Than Both Of Us. In the 1989 awards, McGlashan, along with Harry Sinclair, received three awards for their work as The Front Lawn: 'Best Film Soundtrack / Compilation', 'Most Promising Group' and 'International Achievement'. In 1993, McGlashan's group The Mutton Birds won a further three New Zealand Music Awards: 'Album of the Year', 'Single of the Year' (for Nature), and 'Best Group'.
Warm Hand has been announced as a finalist for 'Album of the Year' in the 2006 awards. His work on the album has also placed him in the running for the 'Best Male Solo Artist' award. McGlashan, SJD and Ed McWilliams were nominated for the 'Best Producer' technical award, but did not win.
McGlashan won the 1994 APRA Silver Scroll, a prestigious award for songwriting, for Anchor Me - performed by The Mutton Birds. In 2006, McGlashan had two songs nominated for this award - a feat last achieved by Dave Dobbyn in 1995. Bathe in the River, written by McGlashan for the film No. 2, later won the award.
In 2011 McGlashan provided the score to the fireworks during the opening ceremony of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Just reminded of this song by Youtube. Don remains one of the best songwriters ever and he deserves to be more widely known. His songs get to the depths of my, and all, humanity with deceptively simple sounding lyrics and great melodies. Thank you Don.
Tim McIntosh
Wow! Beautiful song Sir McGlashan
Lol Sugar
One of the best singer songwriters around. His works with The Mutton Birds was fantastic. This is up there with his best. Deserves to go viral.

Such a great feel good song. Just great!
Tim Walker (Quizmo)
Very clever video matches the brilliance of Don's music and lyrics. The everyday and emotional intertwined.
Jim Cullinane
Great storytelling as usual from the Don. And a nice front lawny feel to boot.
Sean Gilchrist
Saw you open for and play with Crowded House in 2008 and have been a fan since. Thanks Don.
Chris Rakete
what a great song. I've dug it since I saw you play it at Q Theatre at that benefit gig
Chris C.C. Humphreys
