It
is with great pleasure to announce a new segment of Everly Brothers
International, especially dedicated to all Everly Brothers Fans in Australia,
New Zealand and elsewhere in the Pacific.
Judging
from ticket sales, CD's and merchandise at previous Everly Brothers events in
this region, it is obvious that the Everly Brothers have a very large following
in the Southern Hemisphere - a long way from their Home-town of Central City -
Kentucky.

We
have been truly blessed to have the Everly Brothers visit our shores several
times; their first Concerts dating as far back as the late
fifties and we are positive some of you still remember these Concerts as if it
was yesterday; as for well known International Stars to tour Australia was
a novelty then, the plane trip alone was already a major
expedition in those days; the Everly Brothers however managed to come to
Australia several times and their 1983 Re-union Concert was a big production,
filling up the Sydney Entertainment Centre, which was then the largest venue for
Concerts of this magnitude !
Of
course we are not telling you something you don't already know, no doubt you
were all there and with this in mind we have decided to dedicate this segment to
you - the Everly Brothers Fans - Down Under.

We
would therefore love to hear from you - your experiences, stories, photos,
memorabilia and what unusual Records, Cd-s you may have in your collections;
anything newsworthy and interesting about the Everly Brothers Down-Under we will
print - in return we will give you news about Everly Brothers Tribute Bands and
where they play, so we can all re-live the glory-days of their Music, organize
events and special Fan nights, release interesting information about
Memorabilia, Records and CD-s, in order to keep the Everly Brothers
momentum going Down Under - and Don and Phil don't be shy - we would love to
hear from you too !!
We
are looking forward to hear from you - please spoil us with your Everly
Time Down Under Stories and e-mail them to:
Sincerely
EVERLY
