Last friday went to see australian rock legend Normie ROwe @ Kedron-Wavell which it was my 10th time seeing him live and my first Normie concert was at hotel carindale on Friday June 8th 2001 with dennis Knight. The back-up band on friday were the Smokin Crawdads who are an Brisbane group have been around for a few years and play in the clubs around brisbane which they sang 6 songs-How Long,You Send Me,Help me make it through the night, in your eyes,delta dawn and You Don't Knows Me which they were really good. Normie rowe came and he put on an FANTASTIC show which an mixture of his famous hits, some of his album "Missing In Action" and other peoples songs and has an very good and funny sense of humour which he was on for more than an hour and a half. He had CD's on sale after the show and there was a form for people to join his mailing list on his website as well as FAcebook. I Bought 2 cd'S an EP "Missing From Missing In Action" and the album "Missing In Action" which Normie signed the Cd's and i got an photo with him. I always enjoy seeing Normie live and does an FANTASTIC show and if any of you want to see him check him out which it's your night out seeing great entertainment.
