Normie Rowe and The Playboys

Mention the name Normie Rowe and The Playboys to anyone who lived through the sixties, and they will tell you that they were huge. The nearest to them was The Easybeats.

In 1964 they were playing dance halls in the suburbs, by March 1965 appearing on the GO!! Show, and by 1966 Normie Rowe became the most successful Pop artist in Australian music history, with an extraordinary run of hit singles including; It Ain’t Necessarily So, Que Sera Sera, I Who Have Nothing, Shakin’ All Over, Pride and Joy, Stubborn Kinda Guy, It’s Not Easy and Ooh La La.

Whilst Normie now resides in Queensland, he is coming to Melbourne to honour the 50th anniversary of the end of The Vietnam War this August, and has put the old band back together again for one more very special show at the Hepburn Palais.

Normie says that they’ve never sounded better and they’ve never had more fun. With an extraordinary line-up on stage including original Playboys drummer Graham Trotta Trottman, Steve Kelson from The Allstars on keyboards, and from Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs, Gil Matthews on guitar.

This exclusive show is a rare opportunity to enjoy an intimate evening with one of Australia’s favourite sons.

Doors ppen at 6:30 PM, show starts at 8:00 PM.
