Last time Al was in Australia it was a huge success. He was well received by the press and many of his concerts sold out. However, the man behind that success was Aldo Lennard, part of Lennard Promotions. (Check your tickets if you still have them I know mine had that written on it)
Anyway, my plan is simple. We have quite a few Australian members around here, and Im sure there are some people with Australian relatives around. Heck, anyone could help if they can write a convincing letter. (Pretend youre moving to Australia or something). I want everyone to write a letter to Lennard Promotions, asking them to bring Al back to Australia for yet another tour. If you participated in the Rock Hall campaign, then this is very similar.
As a guide, in your letter, should you choose to write one, explain Als success both generally and in Oz, and any Australian concerts you went to, if you met him, etc. That isnt so hard, is it?
I dont want this to sound like its just a bunch of fans have written in because they were told to. I want them to think that we as individuals found their address and wrote them a letter personally. So dont try to affiliate with WOWAY in your letters, please.
And you dont have to send a letter (although its preferable) if you want to you can just send a postcard or something. Just make it clear that you want Al to come back to Australia.
Here is Lennard Promotions address:
Lennard Promotions
Suite 501
34 Queens Rd
Melbourne
VIC 3004
Australia
Thanks go to KnottyEmily for finding the address for me. As far as I am aware, the letter shouldnt be written to anyone in particular (yeah, it was difficult to find info on this place). To whom it may concern will do just fine.
So get friends, co-workers, family members and even complete strangers in on the plan. Thanks for your help.
BTW, can we pin this please?
