Now 73, Wilson, who earned the moniker Peewee when he and the original Delltones were members of the Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club in Sydney - "People call me Mr Wee now", he laughs - is the only original member of the band.
However, while the line-up has changed over the years, Wilson says there is still a market for the band's style of music, which reflects the era the Delltones started in. The music is certainly aimed at the heart and the feet. The Delltones indeed remain one of the most consistent live entertainers in Australia with arguably the longest performing and recording history for a vocal harmony band. Unlike most bands that go to the studio, record an album and then tour, the Delltones - which also includes Merv Dick, Woody Finlayson and Owen Booth - are on the road most of the year, playing venues around the country.
The band will hit the Astor tonight with a show featuring well-loved classics from their early years including Get a Little Dirt on Your Hands and Come a Little Bit Closer and hits from their revival in the mid 80s from their classic rock'n'roll albums Bop Til Ya Drop and Tickled Pink. It begs the question - how does a group of men in their twilight years find the energy to keep rocking?
Wilson does admit, however, as the only original member, he feels some pressure to keep the band going. Close navigation menu Subscribe Log In. Today's Paper. West Rewards. Up Late.
