Last Sunday went to Kedron-wavell for an charity show called Rock'n'Roll Spectacular which is to raise money for the royal children's Hospital with children's cancer and this show has been going on for years now which have tribute performers as well as legendary ones. I first went to the show @ Kedron-Wavell on December 10th 2006 which was very good and among the performers were Tony WOrsley,Normie ROwe and Betty McQuade and i always look forward going to this every year which it's a very good cause. the performers this year were very good which there were some line up changes with Sharon ROundtree and an group group from Toowoomba called the Countdowns who have been around since 1965 and it started from 12.30pm-5.30pm. the comperes were Bernie Hutton(The Chevrolets) and Rex McNamara and in between acts there were raffles and auctions. I had an great time which i bought 3 CD's by Roland Storm and got autographs and photos with Dennis Knight,John McSweeney who did not perform, Tony Worsley,Billy O'Rourke who worked with the Melbourne rock group the Thunderbirds in the 1950's and Roland Storm and I asked Billy O'Rourke what Billy Owens an 50's singer from Melbourne who also worked with the thunderbirds doing which he told me that he's still around but not singing as much. I look forward to this show next year and if anyone who wants to see this show check it out which it's very good and FANTASTIC.
