On May 14th I went to the QPAC Concert Hall to see the APIA Good Times which it's my first time seeing this show as it has been going for 2 years and this year's APIA Good Times show had Joe Camilleri(Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons/The Black Sorrows), Kate Cebrano, Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock. I caught the bus from Cannon Hill to South Bank, went to Nandoos where I had chicken and chips for dinner, drank Coke Zero, went to New Zealand Ice Cream shop where I had an Sundae for desert, walk to QPAC, had a photo taken, bought a program and CD's by Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock and Kate Cebrano, went inside, toom some photos and waited. The show started @ about 8pm which they showed film clip of the performed being photographed as well as being interviewed and then Joe Camilleri came on which he did a set of Black Sorrows songs as well as Jo jo Zep and the Falcons which for a few songs ex Falcons member Wilber Wilde came to perform with Joe, then Kate Cebrano on stage which she performed an number of her songs including her big one Bedroom Eyes and there was an interval which Joe and Kate came out to sign stuff which I got the program signed and photos with Joe and Kate and also went back inside. The second set started with Brian Cadd coming on stage performing his songs from the Bootleg Family Band, The Groop and solo hits as well as doing the 2 classic Axiom songs with Glenn Shorrock when he came on stage, then Glenn performed on his own which he did a mixture of the Twilights and Little River Band songs and then Joe,Kate,Brian and Wilbur came on stage which they did the big songs and also they finished the show with the classic Spectrum song I'll Be Gone. The show finished @ 11pm which afterwards Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock came to sign stuff which i got the Cd signed as well as getting photos with them, walk to the bus stop, caught bus, got off at Cannon Hill and Dad picked me up to go home which i went to bed @ 11.59pm. it was an AWESOME show which everyone had a great time including myself as well as the performers sounded great too and I saw Mark,Robyn and Haylee and also I hope the APIA Good Times show come back to Brisbane next year which I look forward to look it.
