Is everyone aware that Tyrone Coates has put together a version of The Bombers and is posting lockdown versions of Bombers material to their Facebook page? Alan is NOT part of the current line-up but there is a very recent interview with him and he gives his blessing. While the new line-up with none of the originals other than Tyrone might sound like exploitation, the band sound great! And the guitarist is the original's wife who is a big star in Aus herself and a damn fine guitarist. Go here for more www.facebook.com/thebombersband/ |

A recent photo of Alan and Tyrone Coates from their page - not sure how recent though.  |

Nice to hear. I assume at this stage Alan is not up for the slog of going round small venues working the band up from the bottom.
Believe Tyrone went to see the Frantic Four re-union, so I'd guess the photo is from back stage at one of those gigs.

Sadly it seems that Alan may not be able to perform with a bass at all any more. Just speculating going by his appearance at Butlins last year, and use of a cane. And the sale of many of his guitars. And this Bombers project going ahead without him.
Hope he is still of strong mind though and enjoying his life to the full.

Apparently there are unrecorded old songs so we may get new product.
