Ep9 - The Delltones & The Crescents

Col Loughnan - Part 1 - From Hanging Five to hanging out in the same recording studio as Stevie Wonder, with David Bowie dropping by for a listen, twice!

The extraordinary musical journey of former lead vocalist of The Delltones and also The Crescents, Col Loughnan, is an amazing tale.

A bona fide singing pop star, with a swag of hit records - Col gave it all away to play the saxophone - in a short space of time he would go on to become a member of the famed Daly-Wilson Big Band, before joining Ayres Rock, a band that would go onto make some incredible rock soundscapes.

Ayres Rock were the first Australian band to tour the American stadium circuit, playing before massive crowds in the years prior to the Aussie onslaught by the likes of LRB, AC/DC, INXS etc. - We sure do love to abbrev. down under.

The Col Loughnan story includes playing and touring with the very best in the business, Frank Sinatra, Peter Allen, Shirely Bassey, Georgie Fame and Sammy Davis Jr.
