THE guitarist with one of Australia’s most loved bands, Skyhooks, will be entertaining the audience at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre on January 29.
Bob ‘Bongo’ Starkie will keep up the Skyhooks’ music alive while he performs the classic 70’s tunes.
Mr Starkie was inducted alongside his band mates into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1992, cementing Skyhooks’ legacy as one of Australia’s finest acts ever.
Skyhooks formed in Melbourne in ’73, acquiring their flamboyant lead singer Graeme ‘Shirley’ Strachan a year later, the band would end up touring and recording for nearly 30 years.
Now as a celebration of Skyhooks’ legacy, Mr Starkie has put together a new band with the intention of keeping the group’s music alive.
After sold out shows in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney, Mr Starkie’s Skyhooks show hits Whyalla in January delivering all of Skyhooks’ hits, plus some rarities.
This occasion will mark the first time in almost 40 years, since Mr Starkie last performed in Mount Gambier with Skyhooks.
