On this edition of Vinyl Vibes, Jack Hodgins interviews Ian “Peewee” Wilson, bass vocalist of The Australian Rock ‘n’ Roll band, The Delltones.
Peewee formed the Delltones in 1958 along with Noel Widerberg, Warren Lucas, and Brian Perkins. After being discovered by radio DJ, Bob Rodgers, the group was soon backing artists like Johnny O’Keefe. Their first single, Why, would come out in 1959 and would reach number 15 on the Sydney charts. This release made the group a part of the first wave of Australian rock ‘n’ roll.
