Bonnie’s Laurie Allen Tribute Odds,
Ends & Stuff June
2003 DON’T LET HIS MUSIC DIE Warren Keats, Bobby Bright, Russell Pitt
and Greg Lynch at the Moorabbin Townhall, To help raise
the much needed funds to help Warren finish the cd’s that Laurie had been
working on before he passed away, Russell Pitt arranged a raffle and worked
so hard and even donated the prizes.. . Thanks to Russell’s effort and a lot
of hard work on In memory of Laurie’s Aunty Renee, who passed
away in October 2003, a beautiful lady with the purest of souls, a true
supporter of Laurie and his music, my adopted Aunty and true friend for
without her faith in Laurie’s music and her help along with Waza, Laurie’s cd “One Last Round” may have remained Laurie’s unfinished
dream…… .Aunty Renee will be the Angel on the keyboard or maybe the piano
accordion….
Laurie’s loyal little team with Aunty Renee in charge we were one hell
of a team
Edna
Allen’s scrap books Laurie’s
gig diaries A lot of the information on these pages came from these scrapbooks and diaries. Go-Set!! Magazine.
I have obtained a lot of this information from the very popular
magazine Go-Set!!,
for those who are not aware, Go-Set!! was the
most popular magazine that came out
every 7days from February 1966 to August 1974, and I think should be
given a lot of
credit for what it did to help the artists of
the 60’s. It was like a bible to the fans of
Australian 60’s music, having the best of reporters like Ian (Molly)
Meldrum and Stan
Rofe and many others interviewing the best
of the 60’s stars, feeding the fans of the day
the much needed information and the best
photos that they (we) craved for. |
