Last night I went to the Redland Performing Arts Centre to see the iconic rock band The Choirboys which was my 4th time seeing them as I last saw them at the Brisbane Entertainment Center for the Countdown concert on Saturday September 16th 2006 and it was the first time I have a whole show of theirs as they have been on bills with other acts. Dad took me to the bus stop, caught bus to Cleveland, went to the Coolangatta Sands Hotel, rang Dad, had steak, chips and salad for dinner, drank Coke with No Sugar, Ate Warm Chocolate Fudge Cake, paid for my meal and walk to the Redland Performing Arts Centre. Bought Pub Rock CD, went inside and write notes. The show started at 8.02pm with the Choirboys that original members Mark Gable and Ian Hulme, Brett Williams since 1987 and Paul Watson came on stage which they start off with AC/DC's Long Way To The Top and then tell stories about the history of the band as well as telling stories about the acts they have worked including Doc Neeson
