For some this is history, for me, I saw this band live many times in my youth, Terry Britten playing Sitar in Festival Hall in Brisbane. One of my favourites from my youth....still good after all these years.
Hi!!! Sorry for the late reply. I did get that dvd you sent me. I love the cover you put on it. Thank you so much!!! All my brothers are also extremely appreciative. It is amazing to have footage of him playing that old slingerland. I still have the drum kit that is on this video too!!
This is great footage!!! My dad is the drummer in this footage! I dont have any video of when he played with The Twilights. I have alot of audio tapes but no footage. Any chance i can get ahold of some of this footage LeonThe4th? My dad (Frank Barnard) passed away a few years back and would be good to get a collection together.
@TheMungiman Super cool! I only discovered the band recently. i was surfing for Garage Rock etc on Youtube.I loooooove them. Got any interesting facts about them to tell me? Cheers
@debiedog1 I saw him for the first time in years in the reunion DVD. He looks like ME now! but the funny thing is I didn't look anything like him when I was young. I was bald by the time I was 23.
May 1966, their 4th single whilst still based in Adelaide. 6 weeks later in June 1966 they released Bad Boy/It's Dark...by then they were living in Melbourne, so they issued yet another single, this time "Needle In A Haystack" (in Aug 1966). That 45 went to No.1 all over Australia...the rest is history...By the way, I showed this clip to Terry Britten a couple of years back, and he said it was their first TV appearance anywhere (Channel 9, Tynte St, Nth Adelaide), and that he'd never seen it!
That's the great Paddy McCartney ! He was the joint lead singer with Glenn Shorrock and would normally stand with Glenn at the front, but as time progressed, was pushed into the background.
He was (and is) a brilliant singer having amazed Adelaide crowds several years back when The Twilights reunited for a gig at our Entertainment Centre when he did an amazing version of "She's Leaving Home " (Beatles song) as the entire 1st half of the show was them covering Beatles songs...
Wow! I really love The Animals version, but damn, they play this freaking fabulous!

The next issue of 'Shindig' magazine should have a piece on The Twilights according to the promo on their site.

@B17b25guy Yes, there is a great interview with John Bywaters, their bass player.

Glenn had a great mop of hair but is now bald, but doesn't try and hide it with a stupid hat like a lot of others

His dual vocals were a huge part of the Twilight's "sound"...vocal harmonies etc...without him they would not have sounded quite so full...vocally.
