the Delltones Queensland Tour 2012






In May,June and July this year legendary Australian rock group the Delltones known for hits like Hangin Five, get A Little Dirt On your Hands and COme A Little Bit Closer are doing an tour of Queensland and they are still going after 54 years when they were formed in 1958 with original member Ian Pee Wee Wilson. the current line up of the group besides from pee Wee are Woody Finlayson(guitarist & Vocalist), Owen Booth(bass and vocals) and on drums and vocals Merv Dick which it's now an quartet as former lead singer Danny Mayers left in July 2011 to do his solo career and I have seen this line up which it's FANTASTIC and sounding good as ever. They will do some of their hits and other doo wop songs that have influenced them as well as other songs and also always put on an FANTASTIC show as they get the crowd going asking for me. To those who have not seen them go and see them live which i am sure you will enjoy the experience of seeing one of the true legends of Australian rock.
