Went down to see Paul Hayman present his '50 Years of Legends' show and boy, what a show this is - great songs from yesteryear performed by a great singer who is more than ably supported by Kylie Wall with some astounding dance moves. The audience of 600+ were well and truly entertained listening to Paul's great voice recreate the music of Bill Hayley, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Dean Martin, Johnny Cash and Sammy Davis Jnr to name but a few.

No better way to play your first gig at Twin Towns than to a standing room only audience in the lounge - I know because Evelyn and I struggled to find seats. And then with the strum of the first note to see those present jump out of their seats and hit the dance floor to jive and boogie and do the jitterbug to the great sounds of The Wanderers Band with Glen Farrugia in the engine room on drums.
Loved the sound, loved the song choice, loved the atmosphere - took me back a few years (well quite a few years if truth be told). Great fun band that will certainly go places so make sure you catch them when they come to your neck of the woods. This is Rock and Roll as it should be played, listened and danced to.

Saturday night saw my wife and I hop on down to Surfers Paradise RSL to catch "The Dynamics​" featuring Izzy (Isobel Hall​) and Wazza (Warren Thomas​). Was great being able to catch them performing in a club that actually had lighting which really made a difference when it came to taking photos - I counted ten spots.
Thoroughly enjoyable night of music, great vocals, fine guitarmanship (is there such a word? well there is now!). Covering Aus Rock, Classic Rock, Country and Modern Rock, was really fun, bopping along to tunes we had grown up with.
A bonus on the night was when Jonathan Everett-Jones took to the stage and joined in on some tunes with his legendary harp playing - the same Jonathan Everett-Jones who in years gone by played with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Alexis Korner and Supertramp amongst others including Joe Cocker and his Grease Band back in the 60's.

Another great TH!NK PINK show featuring Kylie L Clarke at RSL Club Southport. Kylie's likeness to Pink and her vocal presentation of Pink songs has to be seen and heard to be believed - uncanny is a word that comes to mind, and boy is she full of energy!
Kylie had the 500+ audience up out of their seats dancing in front of the stage, up the back and down the sides of the auditorium. This is one show that should not be missed when it comes to a town near you.
What an incredible afternoon of live music at Nerang RSL with the incomparable Mental As Anything rocking the house of over 500+ punters. First saw this group back in 1976 in Sydney when I was completing my BA Dip Ed - and boy, did I get an education from these guys back then! And today, 43 years later, I was up there with the best of them moving to hypnotic sounds of Greedy Smith and his great band.
Opening for the Mentals was Gold Coast local Nick Waters who most certainly got the huge crowd into the mood for when Mental As Anything took to the stage.
"A popular urban myth concerns a group of art students who passed themselves off as a band in order to con the local publican into giving them a gig in exchange for free beer. The deception worked better than intended, and the group came to be known as Mental as Anything. Nearly two decades later, they are still irritating the public with their highly listenable, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop. A self-explanatory single to reflect their success, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, rose through the charts as did their fundamental understanding of the old adage that 'for every action there is a reaction'. Ahead lay a very lengthy pub crawl which only the accomplished could survive."
A big shout out to Nerang RSL for a truly memorable afternoon of live music on the Gold Coast.

Here are a bunch of pics my wife Evelyn took Saturday night at Greg Andrew's "The Elton John Experience" show.
It's great having Evelyn shooting in the larger auditoriums, she is able to shoot from the back of the hall and get angles I am unable to cover when I am up front and close to the stage so this way we can cover most aspects on the night.

Now this show took me back to my surfing days at Bondi Beach and the music I grew up with. Great show put on by The Beach Boyz at South Tweed Sports Club. The first strum on the guitar had hardly been struck and the dance floor in front of the stage was full - and they were doing the twist, mashed potato, the swim, the monkey, the watusi to name just some of the old dance moves on display.
Great night, highly recommend, will certainly catch these guys again in the not too distant future

Once again The Eagels Band showed why they are so popular playing to a SOLD OUT show at RSL Club Southport. Their harmonies and musicianship on stage had the full house on their feet singing and dancing along to songs of yesteryear, songs that have stood the test of time.
It was great watching these guys on stage interact not just with the audience but with each other and boy, did they have fun on stage as can be seen in many of the photos.
On a personal note, there was no better way for me to spend the 10th anniversary of a massive heart attack - discovering live music here on the Gold Coast and rediscovering photography during my recovery process are two things that helped me after that life changing event.

Well that was a show with Sir Mick strutting and pouting on stage while Keefy was doing the splits and all sorts of acrobatics - great show, great music and great memories of tunes I grew up with in the 60's and 70's. So many great songs from all those years ago with my particular favourite being "Sympathy for the Devil". Catch these guys when they come your way, you won't be sorry.

Around 1800 people at Friday night's fun time party at the Pan Pacific Masters Games​ here on the Gold Coast were entertained by the incomparable sounds of Lisa Hunt. From the first song, Lisa had the audience captivated by her voice and she certainly got them involved both on the dance floor and on stage with her. Great night had by all.

Rebecca O'Connor​ as Tina Turner is SIMPLY THE BEST. There are not enough superlatives to describe this show. If Tina Turner had a twin sister her name would be Rebecca O'Connor.
This was a show that had everything - great music, lots of energy, full-on audience participation - BUT, if you didn't know better you would have thought you were watching Tina Turner on stage.
Endorsed by both Tina Turner and Mick Fleetwood, you very quickly understand why this is so the moment Rebecca takes the stage.

It was Waitangi Day today here on the Gold Coast and we got down there in time to catch the end of the opening ceremony and to see a group called Instant Kiwi perform a few tunes. Was good catching up with some friends as well, will get an album up in the next day or two.

Went down to South Tweed Sports club to see Wayne Vitale in his new "The David Bowie Show". Supported by the musicians from The Killer Queen band, Wayne was smoking hot with his performance, and he had the audience dancing along in front of the stage - would be fair to say the crowd took the hint when Wayne played the song "Let's Dance".
This was a terrific show and Wayne did a superb job as Bowie.

Terrific evening listening to hits made famous by the legendary Stevie Nicks being performed by Lisa West and her band. Cabarita Beach Sports Club might be a small club but Lisa and the guys had the audience up and out of their seats dancing and singing along so some of the greatest tunes of our time. Look forward to catching this show again soon.

What an energetic and entertaining show this morning. Paul Hayman certainly knows how to turn it on and what better place to do it than in a near full 1000+ auditorium known as the Twin Towns Showroom. A privilege to again have the opportunity to 'shoot' Paul and his "Not Strictly Ballroom" show. And how lucky is he to have his talented wife Kylie on stage dancing with him.
Don't miss Paul later this year when he brings his "Cloudland the Musical" show to Twin Towns in September.

Photos from the Blues Brothers 21Cats and Soul Sisters show at Eddie's Bandroom in Moorabbin. This was our first show for 2022, and what a way to kick off the new year with a very powerful and well orchestrated group of musicians recreating the music made famous by Jake and Elwood.
Great night seeing Nick Waters and Captain WOW playing at Nerang RSL. Listening to tunes from the 60's and 70's including those from The Mommas and the Poppas, Joe Cocker, Steppenwolf, Santana, Joni Mitchell, Eagles, Dylan, Sonny and Cher, Neil Diamond, Daddy Cool, Abba, Tina Turner just to name a few brought back fond memories from years gone by.

Great show last night with The Beatlegs at CSI Club Southport. These guys are the real deal, full of life and laughter on stage - and they had the full house on the dance floor from the first strum of the first song.
Listening to songs like "Hey Jude" and "She Loves You, Yea, Yea Yea" was great but the standout song for me again was "A Day In The Life".
This was the third time I have seen this group in the past three years and definitely look forward to seeing them again when next they are in town.

What an energetic and entertaining show this morning. Paul Hayman certainly knows how to turn it on and what better place to do it than in a close to capacity auditorium known as the Twin Towns Showroom. You know you have a success on your hands when the audience are singing along and clapping their hands reminiscing as the songs of yesteryear are being performed on stage with choreographed dance moves by Kylie Hayman-Wall.

Sold out show, not bad for your first visit to arguably the best club venue in South East Queensland.
The audience totally got into the music singing along to the early hits of the 60's and 70's and then rocking along to the sounds of the disco years on the dance floor and where ever they could find some space to move in the packed auditorium.
Now this show took me back to my surfing days at Bondi Beach and the music I grew up with. Great show put on by The Beach Boyz at South Tweed Sports Club.

Last Sunday we joined Betty, Dot and Mabel who took us on a journey back in time to the 1940’s. We re-lived some of the classics of the day including The Andrew Sisters' Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree, Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again, songs by Doris Day and many more! It truly was a trip down memory lane for a lot of people who were there on the day.

Great show with The Soul Men at the VIVA Surfers Paradise festival. These guys brought the Blues Brothers Tribute show to the Gold Coast and had the 500+ crowd singing and bopping along to the songs of that great movie and had the crowd begging for more - two hours of total entertainment. Well done Jake and Elwood.

What an incredible afternoon of live music at Nerang RSL with the incomparable Mental As Anything rocking the house of over 500+ punters. First saw this group back in 1976 in Sydney when I was completing my BA Dip Ed - and boy, did I get an education from these guys back then! And today, 43 years later, I was up there with the best of them moving to hypnotic sounds of Greedy Smith and his great band.
Opening for the Mentals was Gold Coast local Nick Waters who most certainly got the huge crowd into the mood for when Mental As Anything took to the stage.
"A popular urban myth concerns a group of art students who passed themselves off as a band in order to con the local publican into giving them a gig in exchange for free beer. The deception worked better than intended, and the group came to be known as Mental as Anything. Nearly two decades later, they are still irritating the public with their highly listenable, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop. A self-explanatory single to reflect their success, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, rose through the charts as did their fundamental understanding of the old adage that 'for every action there is a reaction'. Ahead lay a very lengthy pub crawl which only the accomplished could survive."
A big shout out to Nerang RSL for a truly memorable afternoon of live music on the Gold Coast.

Here are a bunch of pics my wife Evelyn took Saturday night at Greg Andrew's "The Elton John Experience" show.
It's great having Evelyn shooting in the larger auditoriums, she is able to shoot from the back of the hall and get angles I am unable to cover when I am up front and close to the stage so this way we can cover most aspects on the night.
