For five decades the legendary DELLTONES have played, celebrated and elevated rock'n'roll - one of the few real constants in a frantically changing world.

The Delltones, with a string of classic hits to their name - 'Gee', 'You're The Limit', 'Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands', 'Come A Little Bit Closer', 'Hangin' Five' - a 1984 Top Twenty album (Bop 'Till Ya Drop) and a highly professional performance presentation and stage set have charmed, enchanted and energised audiences since they stormed stadiums with Johnny O'Keefe in the late 50s.

The slogan 'Keep Ragin' and Stop The Ageing,' originated and immortalised by Peewee Wilson in the 80s has entered the national vocabulary, while the Delltones themselves have entered international consciousness. The astounding Doo Wop treatment of the Sex Pistols' punk classic Pretty Vacant recorded for the Musical Challenge section of Andrew Denton's Triple M breakfast radio show in 2000 and released on a charity album has taken on a life of its own, not dissimilar to the reaction afforded Rolf Harris' version of 'Stairway To Heaven'. It is all over the 'www', having been picked up and played by independent radio stations and bloggers in England, Europe and America.

The Delltones with their rich harmonies and the unique voice of PEEWEE WILSON blend their own hits with classic pop and rock 'n roll to make an exciting and colourful performance. The Delltones sound is aimed at the heart and feet, music that reflects romance and humor, music that is entertaining. Audiences still scream, audiences still shout, audiences still go away singing the songs, dancing the steps, chanting the goofy chants and looking forward to coming back for another dose as soon as the can - and not just original fans who've grown up with the band, there are more than a few curious young, intrigued by the durability of this rock'n'roll institution, who are drawn by the power of the music that truly shook the world.

If you only go out once this year don't miss The Delltones special BopaDooWop 50th Anniversary Show.
