Ford Fairlane do you remember Pembo on the radio?? I remember the name but can't remember his voice or that he was a singer.

I remember him on SAFM in 80s, from memory he runs some sort of broadcasting school now.

 

[Hodges 153!]

He was part of the original SAFM team..... David Day, John Vincent, Grant Cameron era.

As I said I remember the name and that he was part of that SAFM crew with David Day and Vinnie but I have a mental blank about what he sounded like and that he sang. I remember Vinnie and his band the Ken Oath Okestra.

Used to be on after the morning zoo I think. Speaking of which, whatever happened to Greg Rees?

That's about the extent of my recollection too.

So has a line started for Melbourne Thursday night yet?

Surely people don't have lives that sad they need to line up the day before??

 

[Hodges 153!]

Lol

So has a line started for Melbourne Thursday night yet?

Monday morning. Around 200 ATM.

I have a spare ticket for the Melbourne concert on Thursday. My friend got sick today - she paid $150 but will listen to offers. PM me if you want it!

The Honeymooners bit was so ra Dom and had no idea where they were going with it. But glad it was Brown eyed Girl since everyone knows that song. Was stoked he played Glory Days and Spirit in the Night. Wanted Lost in the Flood but can't win them all haha.

Disappointed in paying $30 for the program, read the thing in 5 minutes! Photos from the original tour were really cool but would've liked a bit more stuff to read.

Monday morning. Around 200 ATM.

And wat has been the roll call process for Thursday night? 8am...midday...not at all?

The best I can do coming from 3 hours away is to be in Melbourne around 7.30am Sat morning for Saturday nights show.

Here is the back story to the Honeymooners on a Today Tonight short segment. I now recall Pembo's voice, but can't recall that face. I guess they go down as the Adelaide/Australian equivalent of the Phillie Elvis and might feature on the next version of Springsteen and I. Pembo says its the highlight of his life!

I briefly spoke to Pembo's brother Rick - who played Ralph, after the show and asked if Roy was upset that he lost his piano and he said he was a good laugh about it all. I remember him saying it took a bit of time to get their signs and costumes together.

Hoping for Lost in the Flood on Saturday night. not holding my breath though. According to setlist.com he's only played it 3 times in Australia. Perth the other day and Melbourne in 13 and 14
