Here's some nostalgia for Russell Crowe fans - before he became a famous Hollywood actor! I managed to find a site with a photo of him in NZ in 1983, in his first (I think) band, Russ Le Roq and the Romantics! There's even a link to play one of their songs - prepare yourself, it's not "great"! http://www.grahamsilcock.com/music.htm I remember seeing an interview with him on a local music show (Shazam - hosted by Philip Schofield who went on to win fame and fortune in London). He was very, very "serious" about his music career, at the tender age of about 18! Every now and then they have a "what they were doing way back then" TV show, where they show clips of now-well-known NZ actors/celebrities, and this interview always makes it onto the show. As does the music video Russ Le Roq and the Romantics made. Probably not something Russell wants remembered.....
