It’s wizard in Oz
Greetings from Melbourne, we are half way through our revised tour of Oz and loving every minute . Can I just clear up any rumours that have been flying about. This tour was not in any way cancelled or re-scheduled by the band we are fine thank you. It is simply down to a very young and inexperienced agent who bit off more than he could chew and then bailed out leaving some people who had invested a lot of time and money high and dry, and I include ourselves in that as we had kept a whole month clear for this added to the fact that we had already bought our air tickets. So I am very sorry for everyone in Australia who has missed out this time but the silver lining in this case is that two sets of promoters came forward to salvage what they could, that is why we are doing the Adelaide and Melbourne parts of the tour, but more importantly we have found some great people to work with for the future. I know people can’t understand why we don’t just add more shows now that we are out here but believe me it’s not that simple.Anyway, with that explained , let me just say we are having a great time and Adelaide was blast and I have to thank everyone at Star Entertainment but especially Amanda for refusing to let this go. We had a fantastic three days with a sold out show and a trip to the Barossa Valley wineries on my birthday , NOICE !!!!! but seriously the audience were fantastic and we stayed after the show to sign stuff and speak to what seemed like the whole crowd.Now that we are in Melbourne the great gigs continue and the crowds really appreciative and again I must thank Frank at Premier Artists for keeping the faith. We are staying in our favourite place St Kilda which is a real laid back beach suburb and I’m trying really hard not to sample too much of the lovely food and marvellous beer.JEEZ IT’S HOTTa Ta for now

Took myself and a couple of friends across the water from Tassie to see you in Doncaster, Victoria. It was a blast. I also got to say hello to each of you after the show. Bon voyage and see you next time.

Hi Andy,Bruce,Peter & Steve. Just like to say i had an amazing time at your Melbourne concerts. Was present on the 19Nov,21Nov and 22Nov re-gigs. I cant beleive how addicted i have become to your music again. I was planning on flying to Sydney and Queensland to see the remainder of your shows but after hearing they had been cancelled i was literally devastated. Sorry you had problems with managers/promotors here. You may remeber me Andy you was able to copme back stage on the CChlesea heights night gig and you signed my light green tee-shirt to Paul from Andy SWEET. Bruce also gave me his drum stick and Peter was so freindly to talk to. Have many pics to refresh your memeory. If you need any just email me: south_yarra_travel@bigpond.com I have seen well over 200 concerts in 30 years including all the big acts and to be honest Sweet still rule regardless of line up changes over the years. I saw you back in the 70’s during my mid teens and still get a buzz with your music. Just one last note i personally thank you guys for coming out to Australia and also for your personal touch with the crowd and after gig meetings. Please come back again soon. P.S Any plans to tour here again?
Regards PAUL Rogers (Your no.1 Australian fan)
