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 extraordinary run of hit singles including; “It Ain’t Necessarily So”; “Que Sera Sera”; “I Who Have Nothing”; “Shakin’ All Over”; “Pride &amp; Joy”; “Stubborn Kinda Guy”; “It’s Not Easy” and “Ooh La La”.

At the peak of his popularity, Normie was called up for Army service, and to this day is still a vocal and unstinting advocate for Vietnam Veterans. Whilst Normie now resides in Queensland, he is coming to Melbourne to honour the 50th anniversary of the end of The Vietnam War this August, and has put the old band back together again for one more very special Hepburn Palais show.

Normie says that they’ve never sounded better – and they’ve never had more fun - with an extraordinary line-up on stage including original Playboys drummer Graham “Trotta” Trottman, Steve Kelson from The Allstars on keyboards, and from Billy Thorpe &amp; The Aztecs, Gil Matthews on guitar.

This exclusive show is a rare opportunity to enjoy an intimate evening with one of Australia's favourite sons.
