1970 - The Year Music Changed Forever
On April 10th, 1970, Paul McCartney announced the break-up of The Beatles! Who would dominate the charts now? Prophetically, Creedence Clearwater Revival played two sold out shows at the Royal Albert Hall just a few days later and had a string of top ten hits. Elton John released both the Elton John album and Tumbleweed Connection in 1970. The Carpenters album, Close to You, Tea for the Tillerman (Cat Stevens), and Led Zeppelin III were all released in 1970. Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt and Simon and Garfunkel were still ruling the airwaves, and in Australia John Farnham, Daddy Cool, and Master's Apprentices were capturing the mood of the new decade. Join Adelaide band, What About Jeff? as we celebrate many of the hits of 1970 - The Year Music Changed Forever.

Presented by: What About Jeff?
In 2025, Adelaide Band 'What About Jeff?' presented "All the Leaves Are Brown - the 60s Sound of L.A." to a packed house. It was such great fun! In 2026 we return for our sixth Fringe to present: "1970 - The Year Music Changed Forever." With the break-up of The Beatles, who would rule the airwaves? Creedence, CSNY, Elton, Led Zep, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, The Carpenters just to name a few. And here in Oz, John Farnham, Master's Apprentices and Daddy Cool were hitting their stride. 1970 ended up being an amazing year for music. Yes, The Beatles were no more, but we would all still carry on, up around the bend, along the long and winding road, and turn up our radios cos it was alright now. Yeah! what a year! Come and celebrate it with us.
