THE LEE-DALLS

 

The Lee-Dalls were a short-lived Melbourne rock 'n' roll band formed in 1960. The band played regularly at the Coburg Town Hall and during this time they managed to secure a record deal with the W&G label. In 1961 they recorded a single ''Storm'' backed by Kushan''. Both instrumental tracks were composed by lead guitarist Lee Dalli who came to Australia from Malta when he was four and received his first guitar when he was 16. The band's vocalist Colin Buckley recorded his first single ''Love Bug Blues'' with The Lee-Dalls backing him. The band didn't last much longer after 1962. Buckley would go on to have a moderately successful career recording on the RCA label.
