Thanks to Peter Flanagan for the camera work.

Three of The 69ers reunite for a short set at Dave (The Bloke) Ovenden’s 60th birthday bash at Bilambil Sports Club, April 2007. Left to right: Brian Bethell, Dave Ovenden, Izzy Foreal (Peter Knox). ‘Beedle Um Bum’ was originally sung by Frank Butler, who couldn’t be at the reunion because he was busy preaching the Gospel in the southern United States of America. Izzy does his best to do the song justice.

IZZY FOREAL WITH RICK SPRINGFIELD AND DAVE OVENDEN

Izzy Foreal ( then Peter Knox ) recorded this video with Rick Springfield. Dave the Bloke Ovenden is on Drums. They were in there to do their own recording with perhaps Johnny and the Ringworms or the THIRD UNION BAND. They did that. They did HIGHWAY RIDER which will be up soon. And about 4 other songs which were played on GTK. On ABC. GTK – Getting to Know.

Rick S was just going to record some songs with his guitar as he was on his way to catch the plane to stardom – then he said ” Hey would you guys like to back me on these songs ? ” Izzy and Co didn’t know he was going to go away and be famous or they would have been nervous. He had already released SPEAK OT THE SKY as a single , probably his last single in Australia before he left But Iz and Dave and Graham Lister and Red McKelvie got to play it live with him.

The year before he were up in Brisbane playing with Waldo in THE FISHERMEN and having a curse put on him by a lady who shall remain nameless.
