O my lord... Watching the Deltones in the pink tux's has been a hoot. I toured with them in 83 I think... I seem to recall the final event of the tour was an outdoor show at the old Toowoomba Showgrounds (which was recorded by Jands for a live album)...

A furphy, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. You would never get anything but the plain honest dinky-di truth here... I promise!!!! Yup, hand on my heart, promise, true blue, uh-huh true dinks, dead set!!

Pretty simple really...

I was asked to tour as an assistant sound engineer (Read: general sh!tkicker and gaffer tape dispenser and occasional guitar tuner) by a mate of mine who was the foldback engineer, and did the east coast tour on the 1983? tour. I recall that they had just reformed...

The gig at the showgrounds was pretty special for me as it was my home town, and it was being recorded. That was the start of an interest in studio based work and a continued interest in it thru to my time working in theatre as a stage manager (who dabbled/worked in lighting design and sound design).

I look at how hard it was to get the recording down for that show, and think to how easy it is for me to plug unto a sound desk now and digitally mix it at home... WOW!!!

What I remember of the Delltones, was a group of guys who just wanted to play music, have fun, and they loved the applause... And they provided lots of liquid sustenance... Huh

I think the album recorded was the basis of the "Tickled Pink" album, as the band wore pink for the tour...

Does that fill in the gaps??? Cheesy

No doubt about it that sucker could sing- did he have much of a career?

Like a lot of them he seemed to disappear after a while.

Do you remember the Dave Clark Five. Same era.

Remember this bloke. It was rumoured that he was a millionaire before he started singing.

These fellas would all be in their 60's now.
