the Delltones @ Kedron Wavell Friday July 6th 2012

On Friday July 6th I went to Kedron Wavell Services Club to see legendary Australian singing group the Delltones which it was my 9th time seeing them and it was 9 months ago when i last saw them at Mt Gravatt Bowls Club on Friday October 21st 2011.Before the show started I bought the live DVD that they did in Melbourne nearly 4 years ago and saw Carla which she told me that Pee Wee's book will be released next year. The show started after 8pm with the group doing the unplugged set doing stuff like I Wonder Why, Why Do Fools Fall In Love,Mr Bassman and others and in the interval I saw Maxine from the Auxiliary and Heleen from work as well as speaking to Carla about recordings coming out on CD that they are planning to do. in the second set they came doing the rock'n'roll set which they did their hits Gee, You're the Limit, Come A Little Bit Closer, Hangin Five and Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands as well as other songs like Shout, She's My baby, blue moon, the Lion Sleeps Tonight which Pee Wee played acoustic guitar, Earth Angel and others which the guys wore the pink suits and pants and black shirts and the end of the show wore the gold suits. the show finished around 10.20pm and I waved to Nicole from the Love Bugs who was on the phone as darren j ray Trio were performing downstairs that night. Carla took me backstage to say hello to the guys which I asked about the book, speaking about robin Gibb,as well as recordings, people like the everly brothers, tab hunter, Lloyd Price, the Beatles and the Beach Boys and others. The Show was just FANTASTIC which I had an great time and enjoy seeing the Delltones as always and the guys were just FANTASTIC too which they sound great as an 4 piece line up as well as singing great too as well as enjoying Pee Wee's sense of humor . I look forward to see them again when they come back to Brisbane and to those who have not seen them live go and see them as they put on an FANTASTIC show doing great songs.

    Hi Luke,

    Would please post up who is in the last photo with you. I have a sneaky suspicion that this is the original group minus the late Noel Widerberg.
