On Sunday afternoon June 7th 2015 I went to see Catfish and the Dee Jays @ the Coolangatta Bowls Club which it was my 7th time seeing them and it was my first time in 9 years seeing a show @ the Coolangatta Bowls Club as the last time I went to a show there was on Sunday June 11th 2006 when I saw Digger Revell with Mum. I walked to the club after the Mighty Guys show the Beach House Stage, signed in and use my mobile. The show started @ 1pm and for the next 4 hours they did 4 sets which they did rock n roll songs as well as some country songs as well as people like Dire Straits, Beatles, Easybeats and others and in the intervals I spoke with a lady as well as looking at the program, ate chips, drank Coke Zero,Drank Water and did some writing and the people were dancing and enjoying themselves at the show and also comedian Kenny Bennett was the club having lunch. The show finished @ 5pm which I thanked Bob and Ray, saw Kay and Catfish, got 2 photos taken with Catfish and walked back to Bella Mare which I stopped @ 7-11 where I recharged my phone and took photos. The show was FANTASTIC which I had an great time and Catfish and the Dee Jays which they played great and singing great with Catfish still playing great drums as age 82 as well as performing great songs which still endure to this day and also I look forward to seeing them again @ Cooly Rocks On next year which I always enjoy seeing them.
