From the promoter of the original line up of AC/DC, John Hessenthaler presents Let There B/DC - The AC/DC Show at The Public Hall.
What makes AC/DC such an exciting, pulse=pounding band and how to recreate the fire of their live performances?
That was the main question asked when firing up the rock and roll train that was to become LET THERE B/DC way back in February 2011.
From the very start the band knew it had to be raw, exciting and authentic as possible. Recapturing the essence of an AC/DC performance was never going to be easy, but countless fans have stated time and time again that this is the closest thing they've ever heard to the real thing.
