BOBBI MARCHINI, WHERE ARE YOU? SHE'S LIVING ON AN ISLAND IN GREECE. BOBBI IS A GREAT FEMALE SINGER WHO MIXED IT WITH OTHER GREAT FEMALE SINGERS OF THE SEVENTIES, INCLUDING JANICE SLATER, ALLISON McCALLUM, KERRY BIDDELL, SHARON SIMS, WENDY SADDINGTON, ETC ETC ETC . WHAT AN ERA!
BOBBI WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR HER STINTS WITH SOUTHERN COMFORT AT THE CHEETAH ROOM, AND GRAPEVINE AND HUNGER, AT JONATHANS IN BROADWAY. I REMEMBER WE (FLAKE) AUDITIONED FOR THE GIG PRIOR TO THE OPENING, AND I THINK WE HAD THE JOB, BUT KNOCKED IT BACK WHEN WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO WEAR A TUX! I THINK HE CHANGED HIS IDEAS ABOUT THAT.
BUT ANYWAY, BOBBI WORKED WITH JOHN ENGLISH, STEVE WRIGHT, TERRY KAFF, AND THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED FABULOUS JANICE SLATER,& ALLISON McCALLUM. I HAD A CRUSH ON ALL OF THEM.(ONLY THE GIRLS) I'VE HAD SOME EMAIL FROM BOBBI, AND I FIND SHE HAS A WEB SITE, www.bobbimarchini.co.uk

Discovered your site today...Great to see such a tribute to my friend Bobbi and a thank you also for honouring so many of the early pop/rock female Ozzie singers...
May you and your bloggers be well and happy
Cheers

Hi Janice
thanks for your kind words, I have always been a huge fan of yours, please send some pics and a story if you feel inclined,because I would love to include
much more on the ladies. It was certainly my favourite time for female singers.
kindest wishes,
Dave Allen
