Glenn Shorrock

Glenn Barrie Shorrock was born on 30 June, 1944 in Rochester, Kent, UK.

Glenn Shorrock originally came to fame in Australia as the co-lead singer of popular '60s bandThe Twilights. They scored major Australian hits with singles including "Needle In A Haystack" and their definitive cover of The Hollies' "What's Wrong With The Way I Live", which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. Boasting two lead singers, two guitarist and five vocalists, the Twilights were renowned for their ability to perform note-perfect covers of songs by almost any pop-rock act of the day, and were famed for their live prowess; they were also one of the few Australian "pop" bands of the day who were both popular with teenage audiences and respected by fellow musicians. In 1967, shortly after returning from London, the group were regularly performing the entire Sgt Pepper's album live, in sequence, as part of their set, well before it was released in Australia.

After The Twilights split in early 1969, Shorrock joined the early Australian 'supergroup' Axiom with Brian Cadd (ex The Groop) and members of other leading Australian pop groups. Although Axiom lasted only a couple of years, they had several Australian hits and recorded two highly acclaimed LPs.

Shorrock remained in the UK after the split of Axiom and during this time he performed with the multinational band Esperanto. In late 1974, just before returning to Australia, he was invited to join a new lineup of Mississippi, an Australian band then working in England. He joined the group as lead singer, and soon after they returned to Australia they changed their name to Little River Band. The group went on to become one of the most successful bands ever to come out of Australia and the first Australian group to achieve major commercial success in the United States.

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
