It’s been a long time coming, but the legendary tribute shows for Lobby Loyde and Pete Wells will finally be released on CD. The album also acts as a way to remember Billy Thorpe, who hosted both gigs in late 2006 and early 2007.
Unfortunately for fans though, the shows will be released on one CD with a bonus three-track DVD. That means a lot has ended up on the cutting room floor, including performances by Master’s Apprentices, Chain, Wendy Saddington, and more.
But let’s focus on the good stuff, because there’s plenty of that. There are some fantastic tracks from local music royalty including Russell Morris, Richard Clapton, Brian Cadd, Lobby Loyde, and Billy Thorpe. And all proceeds will also go to Support Act LTD, a group which helps with drug and alcohol rehabilitation for musicians.
A Tribute to Lobby Loyde, Billy Thorpe, and Pete Wells is available now from Bombora. Here’s the full track listing.
