70’s British Invasion

70’s British Invasion

The 1970’s saw the emergence of hard rock as one of most prominent subgenres of rock music. During this decade British acts such as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Black Sabbath, The Who and Bad Company  were at the height of their international fame.

Their music was a huge influence on the youth  of that era, and consequently  left a lasting imprint on their life. Even to this day these bands can be heard on the airwaves all over the globe.

This show is a celebration of the music that came from Britain during this period.

To pay homage to this musical era of the “70’s British Invasion” we have brought together some of the best musicians Australia has produced.

On lead vocals we have gone back to the motherland of Britain and claimed Spencer Jones as one of our own.
