Rock legend stars at massive AC/DC convention

Aug 9 2004

Daily Post

 

WREXHAM rocked this weekend to the biggest AC/DC convention ever staged.

Wild man of rock, group founder and original lead singer Dave Evans was the star attraction at the event which featured 10 leading AC/DC heavy metal tribute bands.

The Big Ball event kicked off on Friday night at the William Aston Hall.

The highlight came on Saturday when Dave Evans - originally from Carmarthen - performed with Wrexham's AC/DC tribute band Seedy/DC.

It was his first performance in Wales for over 30 years.

Evans's family emigrated to Australia in the 1950s when he was five. He founded heavy metal band AC/DC with brothers Malcolm and Angus Young.

But he left the band six months after they found real fame following a punch-up with the manager.

Organiser Andy Whitfield, of Acton, Wrexham, said the event had attracted interest from all over the world and been a great success.
