Can you guys please help me out, maybe if you order it too, they can do a reprint. And I can finally give Mum her late late late Christmas Present. PLEASE ORDER IT!!! =) Hey everyone, I’ve tried to order Gimme Ted the DVD of the Benefit Concert from a record store, but the thing is they can’t get it in, because the supplier needs more orders so they can reprint it.

Sam's Warehouse shut it's doors years ago, and now Bing Lee's in there. From the outside the old theatre looks beautiful, but my mum told me it was a piece of Sh..... crap. =) But yea I loved your story, it was very intersesting and when I showed my mum she was amazed.

Did you get Les's autograph? As far as I know Les Hall now works at TAFE somewhere in Newcastle teaching music production. I think he works with Grant Walmsley (ex Screaming Jets) I remember the small skit from Club Buggery. You can see some of them on Youtube :) The skit was called "Ian" Ian was played by Paul Sironen (ex Tigers footy player) there were heaps of other people in the show including Ted as the next door neighbour who loved fishing. Col Joye was Ian's dad. It was hilarious. Here is a link of the footage played at Ted's memorial recently. You will see a photo of Ted with HG & Roy in the slide show. The clip runs for approx 10-15 mins. You will love it! It seems TMG members are talented in more areas than one! Let's start a campaign to have them inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame! I think it is about time. http://vimeo.com/28508036 Wow! how exciting. Did you get Les’s autograph? As far as I know Les Hall now works at TAFE somewhere in Newcastle teaching music production.

Does anyone remember Ted appearing as 'Bob the fisherman' on the ABC show on Friday nights 'Club Buggery' hosted by Roy & HG.His 'wife' was Lisa Forrest I think.

He said just in case he turns up for dinner one night (that would have been every girl's dream) to give him steak with a salad comprised of almost totally lettuce and tomato. He also said that his other favourite was savoury mince! He wrote that he never ate eggs, milk, chicken, fish! I wonder if Les's limited diet changed as he got older? You need strong bones to strum a guitar for hours on end :) There are some excellent photographs of the band as well as individual photographs in the book. Anyone who has a copy.... hold on to it with both hands! It is a national treasure. All we need to do now is to wait for TMG to be put into the Australian Rock Hall of Fame.

They visited there earlier with Sherbet as support act, however, returned at the main attraction later on with Rabbit as their support act. It was an amazing night. I remember being in the care of my sister who was 16 (I was 12) and following her and her freinds to the back lane of the picture theatre where they were playing. All of the girls were calling out and finally.... Les Hall appeared for a brief moment. He was dressed in black and man oh man... was he handsome! I fell in love with him in an instant as young as I was! I never got to see them again, but always watched them on Countdown and waited for the cameras to go to Les!!!! This year I went to Ted's Memorial service (along with my copy of the TMG Book) in the hope to see Les Hall one more time. That was not meant to be, however, Herman Kovacs was there and he was more than happy to sign my book :) great memories and music that will last a lifetime.

The place has changed a bit since those days.Thanks for your interest in my adventure.

I thought that was decadent.I wish i did have a time machine as well.The seventies were'nt such a bad place to grow up in.We all had so much to look forward to. I hope you make it out of Guyra you seem too intelligent to survive that place.
