For those of you who don't follow the Ian Hunter To Tour Down Under Campaign thread :-) :-( As mentioned previously a couple of weeks ago during Record Store Day celebrations at Greville Records in Melbourne several music artists played acoustic versions of David Bowie songs. One of the artists, Tim Rogers of the excellent Australian band You Am I, included a great version of 'All The Young Dudes' in his set. He also gave Mott The Hoople a good mention during his intro. A friend, Harry Williams, filmed the performances and has posted some of them on Youtube. The Tim Rogers clip is attached. The whole video is worth watching but ATYD and Tim's intro starts at about 6.30 in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2TgBKEeRKI Tim Rogers was also interviewed on an Australian national morning TV show, 'Today Extra', yesterday talking about an upcoming David Bowie tribute show at the Sydney Opera House. His band will be playing 'All The Young Dudes' at the tribute show. Tim not only mentioned Mott The Hoople once during the interview, he mentioned them twice :-) :-) Hopefully the following link to the video works for international viewers :-) https://www.9now.com.au/today/2016/clip ... mxbv7zxysd As a little bit of music trivia for you the male interviewer is David Campbell who is the son of Australian music veteran Jimmy Barnes, the lead singer of the legendary Australian band Cold Chisel, who some of you might have heard of.
