Bobby Rydell show @ Kedron-Wavell









On friday went to see US 60 pop singer Bobby Rydell @ kedron-Wavell which it was my 2nd time as my first was nearly 3 years ago on Friday September 21st 2007 at Kedron-Wavell and my mum Cath had saw him in the early 60's at Festival hall. The show started with the support act the All Stars who are an group from MElbourne which the line up includes on bass Ian B Allen who is also the promoter on the tour as well and has played with the Planets an Melbourne rock group from the 60's & also Merv Benton & the Talmas and Screamy Eames who played with tony Worsley and the Blue Jays and the BLue Echoes. the All Stars were very good which they did an set of rock'n'roll songs and Screamy played great on guitar. there was an break which i bought coke zero and Bobby Rydell come on after 9pm which he was FANTASTIC & BRILLIANT as he sang his famous hits as well as the bye Bye Birdie segment and the Bobby Darin segment and also he has an very good sense of humour which he told some italian stories which they were very funny. He was on for an hour and I enjoyed the show very much which he was as good as he was in 2007. I met Screamy Eames after the show which i got an autograph and photo and he was amazed that i knew about the Blue Jays and i asked him about what are the members doing these days which he still keeps in touch with bobby Johnston(drummer) and Mal CLarke, doesnt see Paul Shannon and Royce Nicholls is not in good health. Waited in line and Bobby Rydell came out which he signed autographs and had photos taken with the fans which i got mine and also got Ian b Allen's autograph which he was amazed that I knew of him of the Planets and Merv benton & the Talmas. had an great night and hope bobby comes back again soon.
