Shelley Minson @ Greenmount Surf Club


 On Sunday afternoon June 13th I went to Greenmount Surf Club to see Shelley Minson who has been an regular @ Cooly Rocks On since 2017 and it was my 5th time seeing her there. The show started at 12pm which she did an 2 sets doing songs by Elvis Presley, Wanda Jackson, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis as well as some of the songs she wrote and  the song Frankie and Johnny  and was backed by a great band including her husband Lawrie and bass player Dirk DuBois who plays with the legendary Australian blues band Chain as well as in the second set I got a mention as being one of the supporters  which I appreciate the mention and also Tyler and leeanne  were there too and also during the interval I took a photo for a lady and her friends. The show finished @ 2pm and saw Shelley  which I got an photo with her  which Tyler took the photos from my phone and Shelley's phone as well as chatted a bit and went off to Tweed Bowls Club to meet up with 2 of my 5th cousins Sue and Mandi. It was an FANTASTIC show with great singing by Shelley as well as entertaining the crowd and everyone having a great time. I hope Shelley comes back next year  as well as she is an great performer and an lovely lady who is always very friendly to the fans and is worth seeing live.
