Normie Rowe was Australia’s biggest pop star of the sixties - This Exclusive Dinner & Show is the perfect Thursday night out!
Normie Rowe & The Playboys were huge! The nearest to them was The Easybeats. In December 1964 they were playing dance halls in the suburbs, In March 1965 they were appearing on the GO!! Show, and by 1966 Normie Rowe became the most successful Pop artist in Australian music history, with an extra-ordinary run of hit singles including; “It Ain’t Necessarily So”; “Que Sera Sera”; “I Who Have Nothing”; “Shakin’ All Over”; “Pride & Joy”; “Stubborn Kinda Guy”; “It’s Not Easy” and “Ooh La La”.
They’ve never sounded better – and they’ve never had more fun - with an extraordinary line-up on stage including original drummer Graham “Trotta” Trottman, Steve Kelson from The Allstars on keyboards, and from Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, Gil Mathews on guitar.
Normie Rowe was our first King Of Pop. He was far and away, Australia’s most successful pop idol during the explosion of pop music and fashion in the mid-60s. He produced a string of hits that are an important contribution to the soundtrack of the Baby Boomer generation. “Que Sera Sera”, “Shakin’ All Over”, “It Ain’t Necessarily So”, “It’s Not Easy” and “Ooh La La”, among them, produced fan and media hysteria unseen before or since for an Australian artist.
At the peak of his popularity, Normie was called up for Army service. Following which he turned his hand to television acting with a long run in Sons and Daughters. At the same time, he was studying acting and honing his vocal skills which led to his critically acclaimed role as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. He is a vocal and unstinting advocate for Vietnam Veterans. Normie is an Australian treasure and the consummate entertainer.
This exclusive Dinner & Show is a rare opportunity to enjoy an intimate evening with one of Australia's favourite sons.
