		At first, Billy wasn't interested and dismissed the idea but after much persistence by the promoter, he was talked into returning to Australia, reuniting the band and playing one last gig.

		It seems to have become a prerequisite that to have musical success in Australia your name must be easily convertible to one ending in the sound of “ee”.
		Along with his band the Aztecs, Thorpie attracted a fan base ranging from screaming girlies to moustachioed bikers throughout his chart reign of the ‘60s and early ‘70s.
		At just under an hour there’s not a heap of Billy here for your buck, however this is a must for fans — and also a very welcome addition to the disappointingly narrow range of DVD releases showcasing our incredible array of home grown talent.
