Bandstand Live In Australia The Hollies and Hermans Hermits

Bandstand Live In Australia is on DVD again and the artists that is on this DVD this time are legendary British groups the Hollies and Hermans Hermits. The Hollies episode on Bandstand is from February 7th 1970 which the Hollies performed some of their hits including He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother and the other acts on the episode were Diane Horder and Kamahl which in that episode Brian Henderson presented him an gold record and the Hermans Hermits episode is from July 2nd 1969 which they performed some of their hits including My Sentimental Friend which was out at that time which was an number 3 in Australia as well as an number 2 in the UK and the other acts appearing on that episode were Johnny Rebb who has just recently passed away, Pat Carroll, Jackie Weaver, Allan Morrison and Jenny Green. It is FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB as well as very entertaining and enjoyable and it is well worth watching. Both the Hollies and Hermans Hermits were still popular at that time having hit singles and it's great seeing them on dvd as in the case of Hermans Hermits second time as they are on Bandstand Volume 3(1965-66) as well as it's great seeing these episodes as they have been seen since the original broadcast. It's great to seeing more Bandstand on DVD as there will be more in October and November and let's hope for more Bandstand on DVD in the future if the DVD's that are out now be successful as it was last year which I'm sure it will so let's keep supporting it. A Big THANK YOU to Umbrella Entertainment and Channel 9 for releasing this iconic show on DVD and it's a must for fans who watched Bandstand as well as fans of the Hollies and Hermans Hermits which I give it 5 stars and it's in the shops now so do yourself a favour and BUY IT.
