thx Noz - well done!

[nzoz1975]

@BrissoParrothead No worries... it's a sweat getting hold of these clips... so many of them are hidden or lost forever. Now all I need is the video for 'Let It Rock'!

[Wendz61]

Love it - thanks again for putting these clips up.. Whoever you are Noz - I love your taste in Aussie music, especially my first love Skyhooks

[nzoz1975]

@Wendz61 no worries... glad to know you like my contribution to youtube!

I know the Skyhooks were a great act, but this is like David Bowie on Telemundo Viva.

[nzoz1975]

Red Symons (guitarist) often reminds me of the guitarist from the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
