The Fifties Fair in Sydney
Nostaglia for the 1950's is all around us. Retro is in. Proper Rockabilly dancing (pre rock and roll) is back. The Fifties are celebrated in fine style at the annual Fifties Fair at the Rose Seidler House in Wahroonga. A great cross section of Sydney's Rockabilly dancers and fans turn out for the event and, trust me, they spend months getting ready for this, the big day on the Rockabilly calendar. The organisers put on something slightly different each year so that the regulars who go every year don't get jaded. Word is already out that this year's band will be The Detonators, up from Melbourne. And The Dets, as they are known to their fans, have a track record for delivering a top show of roots rock 'n roll, somewhere between rockabilly, hard-driving blues and early rock and roll. Here are some links to some further information about the Fifties Fair
