A few Adelaide memories there Solly and sptrawler.
I remember the Sunday arvo pub sessions in Adelaide with Doc Neeson and the Moonshine Jug and String Band, that was prior to The Angels.
I was also lucky enough to be on the invite list to a musical farewell to the Mustangs and Masters Apprentices at the Kings Head Hotel in King William Street in Adelaide when the Vaughton family sold and were about to leave the hotel.
Brian Vaughton was the drummer with the Mustangs before they became The Master's Apprentices, their practice venue was at the back of the pub.
The night of the farewell to the pub was amazing with Jim Keays and most of the Australian singers and musicians from that era just turning up and performing randomly.
No TV talent etc show that I have ever seen can ever hold a candle to the majority of the talent from that era.
I am reminded of that era now when I watch RockWiz on SBS on Sat nights.
Years ago I used to frequent The Toucan Club on King William Road, all the bands that were playing in Adelaide always used to go there afterwards.
Mark Ferrie (the bass guitarist on RockWiz) was a member of Models with James Freud and Sean Kelly, they wrote a song called "Two Cabs To The Toucan" while they were waiting for a couple of taxis after a show in Adelaide.
Aaaah memories
