A Perth based band who rocked in the 1960s reunited in Bunbury on Wednesday, to jam after 46 years of being apart.
Mike Fenton, Herb Jurkiewicz, Peter Van Loggerenberg, and Ron Clayton got together at Rock n’ Roll High to see if they still had the goods to belt out a tune.
The four men performed as Rebound back-in-the-day, but dispersed on military duties and went their separate ways after the Vietnam war.
Mr Fenton said they travelled from around the country to reunite but their fifth member lives in the United Kingdom and couldn’t make the reunion.
It’s been great to pick up the old instruments again and have a jam, music really speaks to people and it’s good we can be reunited with music,” he said.
Mr Van Loggerenberg said he was only disappointed they couldn’t spend a few extra days and play a gig at a local venue.
“We’re not together long enough to play together as a band on stage, but the people here at Rock n’ Roll High were kind enough to let us use their rooms here to play,” he said.
“The whole reunion is very much a spur of the moment thing, I flew from Tasmania to be here.”
The group said they’ll be making the jam session a tradition once a year to reminisce.
