Bob Dylan will turn 73 on May 24 and Australian artists will celebrate with a series of events in Melbourne.
From Thursday and then all weekend the RockWiz inspired BobWiz and three all-star ‘Forever Young’ tribute performances will take place at the Caravan Club.
Organisers Ian Lovell and Judi Keneally has gathered not only the cream of the Melbourne music community to celebrate all things Bob but an international guest as well. Robyn Hitchcock will appear at BobWiz on Thursday and return for ‘Forever Young – The Songs Of Bob Dylan’ on Friday night.
Firstly BobWiz will be presented by RockWiz creator Brian Nankervis and feature a selection of Dylan clips from RRR’s Paul Harris. The all-Bob trivia night will be conducted like an episode of RockWiz with early rounds determining the final 6 players.
