Hi all,
regarding the Tanelorn festival in 1981,
I was there!
I was 10 years old. My parents were into the whole post hippie festival
thing.
I found this info:

In October 1981, the three-day Tanelorn Festival of Transition (held near
Stroud, NSW) drew 28 000 fans but still lost money. As well as featuring
Redgum, The Church, Moving Pictures, Kevin Borich Express, Men at Work,
Sunnyboys, Broderick Smith's Big Combo, Midnight Oil and Split Enz, the
festival saw the return of Billy Thorpe, then based in the USA.


I remember sitting on my dad's shoulders during the oils and steam was
pouring off Pete's head. I also remember seeing Split Enz and Mi-sex.

Nathan.

I always need additional informations (exact date) for the following

Has someone heard of "Breaking Of The Dry Tour" (with Crowded House +

In the last hours, someone talked about shows in Byron Bay october 3rd &

Can this person give me more infos please?

I will try to keep this review updated (with your help please!).
I'm not specialist in HTML & Web development, so if someone is
interested in producing a better interface : just do it!

Jeremie.
