the Avengers @ Easts Leagues Club

Last Friday April 10th I went to see the legendary Brisbane group the Avengers which it was my 24th time seeing them as well as my second time this year. My Dad dropped at the club, went to the restaurant which I had steak, chips and salad for lunch, ate Chocolate Crunch and waited. The show started @ 7.30pm which for the next 4 hours they did 4 sets of classic rock and pop songs by people like the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Roy Orbison, Cliff Richard, The Four Seasons, Queen, The Eagles and many others and besides from seeing the guys which I said hello to them as well as having a conversation with Graeme,Garth and Mick as well as Laura(Paul's Wife) I saw Maggie and Lorraine who I know from the gigs and also Paul told some jokes in the last set too which was interesting. The show finished @ 11.30pm which I thanked the guys, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and the group played great and sounding great too. The Avengers will be back @ Easts Leagues Club on Friday May 15th and if you want to go and see them do yourself a favour and SEE THEM as they put on an FANTASTIC show which I'm sure you'll shall have a great time hearing great songs from a great era.
