The Wolves have left their comfort zone and headed to the Middle East to entertain our Australian troops. Fellow entertainers on the tour include singers Angry Anderson, Ami Williamson & Brielle Davis, comedian Fred Lang & MC Tania Zaetta, as well as a very talented 12 piece Navy Band.
This will be an opportunity for a real insight into entertaining within a war zone as ABC-TV producer Wendy Page and her crew are with the tour to record a program for Australian Story.
The Wolves' previous experience with the Defence Forces occurred last year when they shot a video clip for “The Ballad of Young Bobby Dale” on board HMAS Kanimbla…. whilst that was a whole lot fun, it did give them an understanding & appreciation of just how our forces live & work……. this trip promises to expand on that immeasurably.
“ This is a great opportunity for us and Country Music in general to show our appreciation to all of Australia's forces currently serving our country under difficult circumstances, we were proud to be asked to go and proud to be able to contribute” said John Clinton.
Organised by FACE (Forces Advisory Council on Entertainment), the first Middle East “Tour de Force” was back in 2003 - our entertainers had not gone to a war zone since the Vietnam War. This is the 9th Middle East “Tour de Force”.
