The show finished @ 11.00pm with the band doing Shout/She's mY Baby as Catfish played with Johnny O'keefe and the dee Jays back in the 50's and early 60's which I said hello to Bob and Brian and thanking them as well and saw Catfish which I got an photo with him and also I met John Preston who was one of the organisers for this years Cooly Rocks On as well as one of the people who organises the Johnny O'Keefe Celebration concert and his wife Brownyn. The show was FANTASTIC and everyone had an great time including me and Catfish and the Dee Jays always put on an FANTASTIC show doing great classic rock songs which I always enjoy it and look forward to see them at Cooly ROcks on next year.
