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.

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.

Exceptional show at this year's VIVA Surfers Paradise. John Hayhoe brought the music of John Lennon and The Beatles alive with the backing of the Killer Queen band.

John played a 75 minute concert set of Beatles, and predominantly John Lennon. The show received a standing ovation from the audience. Keep an eye out for this show!

Being someone who grew up with their music it would be fair to say I was in seventh heaven listening to tunes from the sixties and seventies that helped form the soundtrack of my life.

What an electric show at Options Tavern in Helensvale last night, full of energy and bounce - literally - both on stage and on the dance floor with those present jumping to the sounds of PINK and Lady Gaga.

Terrific representations of arguably two of this generation's leading female artists portrayed by Kim Boath (PINK) and Emily Johnson (Gaga) - highly recommend this show!

Look forward to one day 'shooting' this show on a big stage.

Playing once again to a full house of over 500 people, the Rumours Fleetwood Mac Experience Show had everyone bopping along to the tunes made famous by Fleetwood Mac over the years including Rhiannon, Sara, Tusk to name a few.

People were dancing in front of the stage, in the aisles and at the back of the auditorium - it is no wonder this show keeps getting rave reviews and is back each year - they are very popular.

A great show full of energy and again a show that brought back memories of our younger days through music we grew up with.

If they come your way well worth the effort of seeing them.

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.

Taking me back to the 60's and 70's, these guys brought back to life the sounds I grew up with. How good was it hearing songs from The Stones, Beatles, CCR, Dobie Gray, CSNY, Eric Clapton, Sir Bob, Pink Floyd just to name a few.

And seeing all the people who turned up 'in character' for the show was something you had to see to believe.

Great night, great music. Will definitely be catching these guys again when they are next in town.

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.

Great night with Brody Finlay bringing to the stage Elvis Presley's early music from his start at Sun Records until he joins the Army in 1958. Brody had the audience eating out of his hands from the first strum on the guitar - a terrific two hour musical journey in a great night of memories and music which also featured the sounds of the Blue Moon Boys and the Jordanaires who backed Elvis in those early days.

At Gold Coast Italo-Australian Club.

What a night listening to Tim Gaze and The Echoes playing the music of Eric "Slowhand" Clapton at Club Burleigh. This was simple music, stripped back music, no fancy costume changes - this was the way Blues and Rock are meant to be played, au naturale - raw and plain. And boy did those of us present get treated to some great guitar playing by one of the best in the business, ably backed by some great musicians. For someone who grew up with the music of The Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes it was so Wonderful Tonight! Slowhand - The Music Of Eric Clapton performed by Tim Gaze

Was great catching up with Nick Waters in a solo show on Sunday afternoon at Advancetown Hotel. Great session of songs I grew up with from the late 60's and 70's.

Nick is a terrific musician and showed everyone just how good he is playing both acoustic and electric guitar.

Put Nick down in your diary for when he comes your way either in a solo act or with his well known band, Captain WOW band.

On this night, Killer Queen with John Blunt out front once again played to a full house of over 600 people.

This really is a show not to be missed when it comes to town with the performance of John Blunt with his voice and stage presence taking you back to the days when Freddie Mercury fronted the legendary Queen.

RSL Club Southport continues to bring only the best live shows in Australia to the Gold Coast.

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.

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.

Got to check out this group, Celtic Sons, on St Patrick's Day down at Seagulls. On this night they played a range of Irish and UK songs covering groups like U2, the Beatles, Van Morrison, Oasis, The Proclaimers just to name a few.

Better known as a U2 tribute group, these guys turned it on playing and really had my attention.

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.
