Little Pattie show @ Redlands Perfroming Arts Center october 15th 2011




on Saturday October 15th me and my Mum Cath went to the Redlands Performing Arts Center to see legendary Australian singer Little Pattie. it was my first time being at the Redlands Performing Arts Center but have heard about it and it's an great place with an very good atmopshere. It's my 6th time seeing Little Pattie live and 2nd time this year as I saw her @ the Southern Gold Coast Pure Gold Stage in Coolangatta during Cooly Rocks On on Sunday June 12th this year and it was the 2nd time me and Mum have seen Little Pattie live which the first was @ Twin Towns on Sunday June 12th 2005 with Col Joye during Wintersun 2005. Me and Mum caught the train from Cannon Hill at 12.40pm to Cleveland and walked to the RPAC where i had an coke to drink as well as going inside. Little Pattie came on @ 2pm with her husband Laurie Thompson on drums and ray Aldridge on piano and was on stage for an hour and an half doing pop/rock songs, ballads, standards, country stuff and of course her 2 famous Surfie hits He's My Blonde Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy and Stompin at maroubra as well as telling stories about her career including the her start and being in Vietnam with Col Joye in 1966 and also there was an question session before the show finished where people could ask Little Pattie questions about her career which i ask about how did she get He's My Blonde Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy before recording it which she said it was played to her by the A&R man from EMI records. the show finished at about 3.30pm which Little Pattie had CD's on sale after the show in the foyer and people were lining up including myself which i got an autograph and an photo and also i asked her about coming back to Cooly ROcks next year which she said she hopes so. it was an FANTASTIC show and I enjoyed it very much which she puts on an GREAT show bringing back memories for those who lived in the era of the 60's as well as the days of BANDSTAND. To those who have never seen Little Pattie live go and check it out and I look forward to seeing Little Pattie again soon live.
