Post 702 - Dallimore - We Are The Kids - Women Together


John Dallimore was only 17 years old when he joined Geelong band the 'Redhouse Roll Band', who changed their name to “Redhouse” and quickly built up a strong following on the Melbourne pub circuit. In late 1978, John and bass player Rick Crothall formed a new band  a heavy rock outfit in the tradition of Rose Tattoo and AC/DC. The band was called “Dallimore”. The band released one single, here for you to download "We Are The Kids" b/w “Women Together” (AP 292), in August 1980. The only other recordings by “Dallimore” I know of is a couple of tracks that featured on the “Canned Rock” LP recorded live at Sydney's Parammatta Gaol in 1979. This single was produced by Ian Miller and engineered by Col Freeman.  Dallimore accepted an offer by Jon English to join his backing band the “Foster Brothers band”. He also played on former “AC/DC” & “Rabbit” singer Dave Evans' album “Thunder Down Under” in 1985. His originality, technical ability and improvisations made him a legend amongst guitarists and a very sorted after session player. Dallimore has toured extensively both nationally and abroad supporting such acts as Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Deep Purple and AC/DC.Flac
