  • Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

    This brought back so many memories. As a young Adelaide boy in the early 60’s, Friday and Saturday nights were always spent following the Twilights around from the Oxford Club in the CBD to which ever hotel they were playing their next set. They were by far and away the greatest of some great Adelaide based bands and we were gutted when they moved interstate.

    Incidentally, I was then working in the Public Service with Graeme Goble who went on to join them in Little River Band.
