Okay everyone, Ive been hiding this for a while, but I figure that with the album imminent, thisd be the ideal time to start.
Last time Al was in Australia it was a huge success. He was well received by the press and many of his concerts sold out. However, the man behind that success was Aldo Lennard, part of Lennard Promotions. (Check your tickets if you still have them I know mine had that written on it)
Anyway, my plan is simple. We have quite a few Australian members around here, and Im sure there are some people with Australian relatives around. Heck, anyone could help if they can write a convincing letter. (Pretend youre moving to Australia or something). I want everyone to write a letter to Lennard Promotions, asking them to bring Al back to Australia for yet another tour. If you participated in the Rock Hall campaign, then this is very similar.
As a guide, in your letter, should you choose to write one, explain Als success both generally and in Oz, and any Australian concerts you went to, if you met him, etc. That isnt so hard, is it?
I dont want this to sound like its just a bunch of fans have written in because they were told to. I want them to think that we as individuals found their address and wrote them a letter personally. So dont try to affiliate with WOWAY in your letters, please.
And you dont have to send a letter (although its preferable) if you want to you can just send a postcard or something. Just make it clear that you want Al to come back to Australia.
Here is Lennard Promotions address:
Lennard Promotions
Suite 501
34 Queens Rd
Melbourne
VIC 3004
Australia
Thanks go to KnottyEmily for finding the address for me. As far as I am aware, the letter shouldnt be written to anyone in particular (yeah, it was difficult to find info on this place). To whom it may concern will do just fine.
So get friends, co-workers, family members and even complete strangers in on the plan. Thanks for your help.
BTW, can we pin this please?
Bring Al Back To Australia

i spoke to my contact at Lennard Promotions the other day, and he said that after he's done with the tours he's working on at the moment, there won't be anything on until around october.....i'm not exactly sure what this means about them possibly bringing Al back to Oz, as we don't know when the tour is going to start, but hopefully they will
The tsunami of immediacy will wash away the flood of grief, and reveal a layer of naive optimism underneath

Yeah with the album imminent I would love to see Al and the band tour Australia again, ahhhh memories of October 2003 are flooding back!
I will definitely be writing a letter to Lennard Promotions (and also a contact I have at the publicity company that did the publicity for the '03 tour) to show my support to bring Al back down under.
BRING ON THE ALBUM AND ANOTHER TOUR!!!!! (and possibly another backstage pass )

I really hope he tours again, ive been waiting ages since the last tour. I saw Al on tour in Brisbane. I got to meet Al after the show (something i never thought i woud get to do) I also saw Al & his family walking down Queen St Mall in Brisbane, no one seemed to approach him or anything, i noticed him and wanted to approach him but didnt want to be the one who started all the attention, he was with his family after all, im sure he didnt want a lot of people hassling him.
10/10 Concert though.
