Together they’ve had more hits than a heavyweight boxer – they are the heavyweights of New Zealand’s rock music scene and they’re celebrating 50 years of rock ‘n’ roll.
Johnny Devlin & The Tornadoes, Ray Columbus, Sharon O’Neill, Shane, Larry Morris and Tom Sharplin will assemble for the first and only time to tour New Zealand in August.
The Best of the Best will begin an 11 venue spectacular in Timaru and will play at most major venues throughout N.Z.
Says promoter Ian Magan of Pacific Entertainment….. “Such a tour has never before been contemplated in this country. Now, for a short period of time, the top artists representing 40 years of Kiwi hits and memorable concert, radio and TV performances, are ALL available together. We’ve grasped the opportunity to put together this special show, which incidentally also celebrates the 50th anniversary of Rock ‘n Roll in New Zealand.”
