On Friday night June 10th I went to the Coolangatta Sands Hotel to see the band from Bali called The Hydrant and they have been around for 18 years which they have released 5 albums . The show started @ 7pm which they performed an 2 hour set doing an mixture of original songs as well as covers of Bill Haley, Elvis Presley,Ray Charles and many others as well as entertaining the crowds which was very packed to sing along to the songs and everyone enjoying themselves and having an great time. The show finished at 9pm and I walked back to the Blue C which I rang dad. It was an FANTASTIC and ROCKING show and the band were just FANTASTIC which they are great entertainers with the lead singer an great showman entertaining everybody and the other musicians which just great too as it was great seeing an international rockabilly act back at Cooly ROcks On after an few years which were one of the highlights for me being at CRO 2022 . I hope they come back next year which they made an impact at CRO this year and are well worth seeing live.
