shot at 'Carols by Candlelight' at The Sidney Myer Music Bowl,
Melbourne, Australia, December 24th 2006
Congratulations
to Daddy Cool
being (at long last) inducted into the ARIA
Hall of Fame Wednesday August 16th
2006, nearly 36 years after 'Eagle Rock' took the Australian charts by
storm breaking all previous
sales records; Ross Wilson ( who is already a Hall of Fame Member)
joins Ross Hannaford (Guitar), Wayne Duncan (Bass), and Gary Young
(Drums) in being recognised by their peers. For a band that was only
together for 2 years from late 1970- till Late 1972 ( except a few
occasional appearances and a short lived reunion in 1975 and a failed
double a sided single with Skyhooks in the 90's) 'DC' had a
tremendous impact on the OZ music scene. Some gigs and a release
of an album of new material are in the pipeline.... Their 30 year
hiatus was ended at the Tsunami Benefit Concert at the Sidney
Myer Music Bowl in 2005 and if anything the lads have got better over
the years. Daddy Cool
Live-2005 Photo used with kind
permission of Mike Rudd All members have stayed active in
the industry all these years so there is no problem remembering how to
play although some of the 4 part harmonies took a while to re learn
from all reports. Check out
the DVD 'The Complete Daddy Cool' which was released last year. It
includes the complete 2005 gig, and heaps of clips and doco
footage....a real treat...
::November 2006 Update:: Daddy Cool

your copy from cdbaby.comONLiNE HERE Get out and buy a copy now..if we
can get the album in the charts we
are sure the band will get out and do some more gigs.....
