The shows have been put together by promoter Duane McDonald of Regional Touring, “This is a truly special series of shows. Ol’ 55 and Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons are a historic part of the development of Australian rock in the 70s. To have both bands reform and on the same stage is a rare musical treat and something Australian music fans have not seen in nearly 40 years,” Duane told Noise11.com.
The classic Ol’ 55 line-up featuring Frankie J. Holden and Wilbur Wilde upfront, songwriter Jimmy Manzie on bass, guitarist-singer Rockpile Jones and Patrick Drummond, has not played together since 1977.
Wilbur will also perform in his usual spot with Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons with John Power on bass, Jeff Burstin and Tony Faehse’s searing guitars and Gary Young and special guest Angus Burchall on the drum kits.
