the King, The Killer and the Big O show @ Kedron Wavell

On Sunday December 16th I went to Kedron Wavell to see the King The Killer and the Big show promoted by Matman Promotions and it was my 4th time seeing Gabe Phoenix(2nd time this year), Ezra Lee(3rd time but had not seen him live since Saturday June 12th 2010 @ Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club during the Last Wintersun @ Coolangatta) and gerard O'Donoghue 7th time but 2nd time this year. The show started @ 2pm with gabe Phoenix first on stage doing the classic Elvis presley songs wearing the black leather gear that Elvis wore @ the 1968 comeback special and did an FANTASTIC set which he would walk through the crowds shaking hands including mine and the ladies kissing and hugging him as well. Then was an interval where I bought an picture of Gabe Phoenix and then Ezra Lee came on which he did an FANTASTIC set doing the Jerry Lee Lewis stuff looking an lot trimmer and playing great. After another interval Gerard O'Donoghue came on which he did an FANTASTIC set doing the ROy Orbison songs wearing black and the show finished at about 5.15pm with Gabe and Ezra coming back on stage and Ezra finished off with No Particular Place to go. Got an photo with gabe and besides from gabe and his wife I saw that afternoon Matman, Marina, Colin, Robyn,vian, Brenda, Robert,an lady who works with Matman Kylie LovejoywhoI know from the Rockabilly gigs and did'nt know that her father is Arnold Lovejoy who plays guitar with the Premiers and met Maddie which RObyn introduced me. The Show was just FANTASTIC which everyone had an great time, Gabe,Ezra and Gerard were FANTASTIC and the back up band the Premiers were FANTASTIC too with excellent guitar playing by Arnold Lovejoy. Thanks to matman for putting the show together and I look forward to the shows again in 2013.
