The Rondells

 

Mail

 

The Rondells were a very popular band so I am sure there are a lot of fans out there who might like to share some stories…(nice ones) or even just send a greeting to let them know how much you loved their music, just email me and I will put your message up for you…

Hi Bonnie, Fantastic site - especially the bit on the Rondells; Haven't seen a lot of those photos for years and some I have never seen One small point is that one part of the Rondells history is slighly astray; In a nutshell, the band from mid 65 to late 65 was Bernie, Denis, Dennis and me, and from early 66 to mid 66 was Roger, Gary, Wayne & me; I left in mid 66 and was replaced by Barry

Thanks so much for the site - brings back a lot of memories.

        Thank you John for the input, very much appreciated, I only gave Sue a few minutes notice on giving me the info, she did well considering,  I am glad you like the site, I hope we might here from some of your old fans to make it even more interesting…

                                                                                                 thanks again Bonnie

Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for the quick reply.  Think I will be recommending Sue for a sainthood for coming up with so much good guff from so long ago.

I’d love you to keep my details and would be very happy for you to pass them on to Sue.

 Have a great weekend.

 Kind regards

                  Thanks again John I will pass the info onto Sue, I think it will make her day… Bonnie

Go Go’s & No Go’s

    GO GO GO to the fabulous Rondells, these four boys form the best group in Australia and their backing for Hitch Hiker is a real gas…Hope to see more of the boys in Go-Set… Diane South Yarra.     Go-Set Vol.1 No.16 May 18 1966.

GO GO to the fabulous Rondells, for the tremendous job they do on “Dig We Must”, The Rondells must surely be the hardest working boys on the show because every week they have to learn every song on the show not just one or two like the other artists..                                        Veb, Hawthorn Vic.     Go-Set. Vol.2. No1 January 1967

1968 GO-GO Laurie Allen Revue, millions and millions of Go-Go’s to The Laurie Allen Revue for having such a great new record.

North Balwyn  Go-Set Vol.3 No.16 April 17 1968

Go-Go Bobby Bright…. Millions of Go-Go’s to Bobby Bright for having Laurie Allen as special guest on his radio show, it was truly fabulous to hear Bob and Laurie together again, as they spoke of old times together it brought back many happy memories of the days when they were Australia’s top pop duo. Go-Go’s to Bobby Bright, Laurie Allen, Penny Arcade, Rondells and PJ Proby….                                                    Sue E.Malvern   Go-Set!!
