As I posted back in November, it's been announced that Duncan, Ronnie and Neil are reuniting for a Rabbitt reunion tour of South Africa, which will begin in October of this year.
Archival footage of the band has begun popping up on the new Facebook page for the band (launched last year), portions of which fans have seen over the years in various documentaries and interviews. Most importantly they have begun posting full performances of various songs such as "Charlie," "Hard Ride," and "Baby's Leaving." And even more astonishing, a portion of Rabbitt's actual appearance on Dingley's Bookshop. I had been under the impression that the clip we knew of was from the opening credits of the show (as Duncan composed the theme and the band performed it) but it is actually from the episode in which they appeared, playing along to "Working For The People." And proving that Trevor did have an actual speaking part (though this is not enough to judge his acting).
It had seemed fairly obvious to me that Duncan has had all this in his possession - as his brother Bill was employed with the SABC for many years - and I appreciate that he's allowing these videos to be enjoyed by everyone now.
For anyone wishing to view the footage from the band's televised appearances be sure to visit the new Rabbitt Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/rockrabbitt/
