The Producer of Australian concert drama Rolling Thunder Vietnam – Songs That Defined A Generation is delighted to announce that Australian singer, songwriter and actor WES CARR is returning for this exclusive national tour. This 2016 national tour coincides with the commemoration of 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.
