Billy Dee arrived in Adelaide in 1976 under the name Bill Dagnall from Liverpool, England. I loved everything about it except for the lack of live music in the southern area where I lived. As a result of my advertising in the then Southern Times and meeting in my front lounge, the first Southern Districts Country/Folk club was formed.

I have moved on with other commitments in the entertainment field, and have performed both here and overseas in bands, duos and solo work.

Regular shows include:- Casino, concerts, festivals ( Aldinga, Frances, Kapunda), clubs (British Workingmans Club, RSLs, Football & Irish Assoc.), Hotels (both city and country).

I am currently heading a country/folk band called "Rare Old Times" and also as a duo with my wife Cindee as the “Mellow Dees”.

I was raised on a diet of Hank Williams, Jim Reeves etc and loved all those country legends. And then the Beatles and the Eagles hit me and I guess country rock got into me. But I don’t want to be cured!

I enjoy the different shades and sounds of music, but I know that country is in my blood.

I have recently recorded 2 more CDs to add to my original, all of which are available at my shows.

Hope we can catch up sometime.
