EuroglidersThe EUROGLIDERS story begins in 1981, in Perth, Australia……the most isolated city in the world.
Within a decade of forming, EUROGLIDERS had recorded four albums, enjoyed a multitude of chart topping singles and been awarded a swag of awards from around the globe, for both music and video. But EUROGLIDERS truly began as a love story between a songwriter and a singer, both of whom had their own bands.
Today, some 25 years later, the relationship between that singer and that songwriter may have changed but the love of performing and their long enduring friendship continues every night on stage.
Let’s go back a bit. Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch met in Perth. Grace was lead singer for a band named 'Lumiere’; and Bernie, lead singer for 'Living Single'.
They met, fell in love and Grace took over the lead singing role for 'Living Single'. They changed their name to EUROGLIDERS and suddenly everything changed……..their lives would never be the same.
The songs that Bernie wrote now took on a life of their own in Grace’s hands. Crowds doubled, then tripled, recordings were made, played on radio and record companies arrived at the sleepy, sun drenched hamlet of Perth with cheque books in hand, ready to sign the act.
With Grace Knight, the 'manic ballerina', and Bernie Lynch on vocals and guitar, their performances were a rallying cry of anthems that audiences sung along with till their lungs were bursting. Songs like 'Heaven', 'We Will Together', 'Can't Wait To See You', 'Absolutely' and 'The City of Soul' became the songs of a young Australian generation. Life was a long dizzying ride to the top of the charts and ten Top Ten charting singles and albums were the result.
The next decade saw EUROGLIDERS travel the world, charting in countries like Japan and America. 'Heaven' was a top five hit on the Billboard USA charts and the band won numerous Countdown and MTV awards. A darling of MTV, EUROGLIDERS performed 'live' on MTV's New Year’s Eve party in New York, broadcast to over 65 million people.
Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch have continued, in the years after the Eighties, to engage people in their lives.........Grace Knight has forged an entirely new and separate career, acting in the award winning TV mini-series 'Come in Spinner' and recording many award winning jazz albums. Grace is considered to be one of the foremost singers in Australia. In addition to collecting an ARIA award in 1993 for the Platinum certified album, Come In Spinner, she’s one of only a handful of people to be nominated for ARIA awards in three separate decades. Bernie Lynch continued writing music for theatre and forged, with Collette Dinnigan, a fashion empire that continues to win innovative awards.
But the much needed break from EUROGLIDERS would not last long. An album of entirely new songs was released in 2006, a national tour performed and it was obvious that the magic was still there.
In 2015, EUROGLIDERS released a new CD titled 'Don't Eat The Daisies', comprised of both new songs and re-workings of some of the classic EUROGLIDERS’ hits, including 'We Will Together' and 'Heaven'.
The new songs talk of love, of rebirth and of finding ones sense of self and so, nothing’s changed really, has it? A review of the album 'Groove' in 1989 commented that EUROGLIDERS’ songs “look at what happens when two people fall for each other.....the good times, the transcendent moments, the children, the separation and the aftermath'.................”.
2016 sees the release of Fragile, Grace’s latest solo project comprising of twelve new songs penned by Bernie Lynch. In a departure from jazz, Fragile consists of blues, soul and even folk tracks. Fragile has already received rave reviews.
In November 2017 Eurogliders were inducted into the WA Music Hall Of Fame.
Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch may not be married anymore but their love for each other and the smiling warmth seen on stage every night are a shining example of the sheer joy that only music can provide.

The AngelsDelivering raucous hard rock in the tradition of contemporaries like AC/DC and Rose Tattoo, the Angels are among the longest-lasting and most beloved bands ever to emerge from the Australian pub circuit. Their roots date back to 1973, when singer Doc Neeson and guitarist Rick Brewster first teamed up at university in an eccentric acoustic covers group dubbed the Moonshine Jug and String Band; by the following year they had begun adopting a more straightforward and electric approach, rechristening themselves the Keystone Angels in the process. Soon abbreviated to simply the Angels, their original lineup consisted of Neeson (nicknamed the "Mad Irishman" in honor of his crazed behavior on- and off-stage) and Brewster, along with the latter's brother John on guitar and drummer Graham "Buzz Throckman" Bidstrup. In 1976, the Angels were discovered by AC/DC's Angus Young and Bon Scott, and soon entered the studio to record their debut single, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again," a major hit. With the addition of bassist Chris Bailey (not to be confused with the Saints' frontman), a tour opening for AC/DC followed, and in 1977, the Angels' eponymously titled debut LP appeared to enormous success. A second album, Face to Face, appeared in 1978 and preceded a national headlining tour; after 1979's No Exit became an even bigger hit, the group toured the U.S. and Canada; they renamed themselves Angel City in the Northern Hemisphere to avoid confusion with the glam band Angel. (To further complicate matters, a handful of releases later appeared credited to "the Angels from Angel City," the constant fluctuations no doubt contributing to their lack of success overseas.) After just three LPs, the Angels issued their first Greatest Hits collection in 1979; with their next studio album, 1980's moody Darkroom, they scored their first Australian number one hit, "No Secrets." The record also featured the track "Face the Day," later covered by Great White. At the end of the year, the Angels headlined a free concert at the Sydney Opera House that ended in rioting, prompting a government ban on outdoor concerts. Undaunted, the Angels opened in America for the Kinks, then returned home to begin work on their next album, Night Attack, their first outing with new drummer Brent Eccles. A subsequent tour exchanged Bailey for bassist Jim Hilbun, and was followed in 1983 by the odd, experimental Watch the Red. Two Minute Warning -- a concept record exploring nuclear devastation -- recorded in Los Angeles and issued a year later. Upon returning to Australia, founding member John Brewster exited, and was replaced by ex-Skyhooks guitarist Bob Spencer. Howling followed in 1986, launching the hit singles "Don't Waste My Time" and "Nature of the Beast." In support of the record, the Angels mounted a 16-month tour that yielded the double-concert LP Liveline in 1988. With new bassist James Morley, they next traveled to Memphis to record 1990's chart-topping Beyond Salvation, which notched four Top Ten singles: "Let the Night Roll On," "Back Street Pick-Up," "Rhythm Rude Girl," and "Dogs Are Talking." After 1991's Red Back Fever, both Spencer and Morley departed for solo careers late the next year, opening the door for the return of Hilbun and John Brewster. However, record company problems kept the Angels from recording new material for several years; finally, in 1996, they issued their comeback single, "Call That Living," which returned them to the Top Ten. Skin & Bone followed in 1998. The group disbanded at the close of the '90s following Doc Neeson's injury in a car accident; however, Neeson joined a re-formed Angels in the spring of 2008, and the reunited group played a series of shows during the summer of that year. Neeson left the band again in 2011 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Dave Gleeson, former lead singer of the Screaming Jets, a group who had toured with the Angels in 1991. His debut album with the group came in 2012 when Take It to the Streets arrived featuring the single "Waiting for the Sun." The band marked their 40th anniversary by releasing the album Talk the Talk in 2014. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
