The Countdowns…..the story so far!

Sixty years ago, as a young Toowoomba
teenager, Owen Ray formed a band with some other local lads. Mainstream success may have not happened, however The Countdowns are still playing today and on Saturday 29 March will mark the milestone with a 60th anniversary gig at Rumours International.

“We named ourselves ‘The Countdowns’ due to all the sputnik and space satellite furore at the time,” said Owen, the only remaining original member of the band.

There have only been a few line up changes in the band and the most recent drummer, Bevan Betros has now been in the group for 45 years.

From the moment The Countdowns started, they had no shortage of work, acquiring a four nights a week residency at Lennons (Burke & Wills). In 1969, they were the backing band for one of the biggest events in Queensland’s music history. It was “A Christmas Bonanza” held at Festival Hall in Brisbane, where over 6,000 people saw them perform and back artists such as Ronnie Burns, Bobby and Laurie, Jamie Redfern, Ross De Wylie and more. The Countdowns went on to open up the newest and biggest venue on the Gold Coast, The Broadbeach International Hotel and performed there six nights a week with artists such as Ricky May, The Four Kinsmen, Lionel Rose and many others. What band today can brag about a six night residency?
Right up until approx 8 years ago The band was still getting work all over south east Queensland with performances at Wintersun, Rockstock with Johnny Young, the Delltones, Russell Morris, Tony Worsley, Normie Rowe, and Little Patti.

The 60th Bash will feature International recording artist, Sue Ray and Vicky O’Keefe performing a tribute to her Father, The Wild One himself, Johnny O’Keefe.
