Rockin’ Rowe

NORMIE Rowe has long been regarded as one of Australia’s most recognised and successful singers in a long and illustrious career that spans back to his teens in the early ’60s.
In that era, there wasn’t an Australian singer with a bigger following than Normie.
With a collection of number one hits and King of Pop awards, mass hysteria at every performance was normal.
He had 11 chart toppers in the early days including his double gold ‘Que Sera Sera’ with its famous ‘B’ side ‘Shakin All Over’, ‘Ooh La La’, ‘Its Not Easy’ and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’.
For over 40 years, Normie has been one of Australia’s favourite performers. In the ’60s, Normie recorded and toured in the UK, and then, in the early ’70s Normie was inducted into the Australian Army and sent to Vietnam, becoming our most recognised soldier.
Since that experience, Normie has worked tirelessly for better conditions for veterans of all wars.
Normie’s career continued after the war, both here in Australia and internationally with shows in the USA, UK, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Greece, Turkey and New Zealand.
Normie has perennially been a requested artist on national television shows, and was one of the most popular artists on the Long Way To The Top tour, which played to 160,000 people Australia-wide.
Today, Normie is still performing countless shows nationally every year to packed houses, a testament to one of Australia’s true talents.
You can catch Normie at Tewantin Noosa RSL for a free performance in the South Bar on Saturday 6 December from 8pm.
