terry Sylvester & Joey Molland touring Australia

Hi there,
I am writing to mention that at the end of this month 2 legends of the UK rock scene of the 60's & 70's are coming to Australia and their names are terry Sylvester & Joey Molland who came from successful british groups of the 60's & 70's the Hollies and badfinger. Terry who had came from both Liverpool groups The Escorts and The swinging Blue Jeans joined the Hollies in January 1969 when Graham nash left the group to form crosby stills nash and young and would be with the Hollies until may 1981 when he left which he played on the classic Hollies hits like Sorry Suzanne, Long Cool WOman in a Black Dress, the air that I breathe, he aint heavy he's my brother and many others and still performs solo these days mainly in the USa & canada either by himself or others from the 60's era. Joey Molland joined Badfinger in late 1969 when he repalced original bass player Ron Griffths and played on the early 70's hits like no matter what, baby blue, day after day etc and left in 1974 but rejoined in 1978 when he & the late Tom Evans reformed the group which lasted until 1981 when he & evans split. he continued touring with the groupand still does today aka sometimes as Joey Molland's Badfinger. The australian tours starts on October 29th which they will play in NSW, South Australia,Western Australia & Victoria and sadly won't be playing in Queensland which I must I admit that I am disappointed as I would love to have seen them which would be a thrill and to those in the other states who are seeing them hope you enjoy the show.
