THE
THUNDERBIRDS
BACK IN THE 50s when
rock 'n'
roll
exploded around the world, a
bunch of youngsters formed a band to play this new music. The THUNDERBIRDS
were one of the first and became the biggest of the early Australian bands, with
fans all over the country, due to their hit records, television appearances and
shows at the largest venues in the land, playing their instrumentals and
accompanying all the major stars from Johnny O'Keefe to Roy Orbison. Reuniting
in 1996 for a "one-off show" before an enthusiastic audience of 2000, they
decided to keep going and today are playing better than ever. To attend a
THUNDERBIRDS SHOW is to experience a glimpse of a world in which Rock was
young, performed by the genuine, original artists in an authentic style so hard
to capture by those who were not actually there.
This year The Thunderbirds are celebrating 50 years playing rock 'n' roll with
the same line-up as when they first started with the exception of Henri Bource,
the groups saxophone player, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago and are
still playing to packed houses and are very much in demand. They are true
remnants of a great by-gone era still playing their music just as they did way
back in the 50s. Artist website :
