My very first Kedron-Wavell show I attended Eric Burdon & the New Animals Sunday April 9th 2000


It was 10 years last month when I made my first visit to Kedron-Wavell Services and it was Eric Burdon & the New Animals. I remember it was in february 2000 when i saw it in the sunday mail and thought I would like to go and see so on Wednesday February 23rd my dad took to Kedron-Wavell where I bought my ticket. i remember the day Sunday April 9th 2000 really well as I was at Cannon Hill Presbyterian church which I went there at that stage and Ashley Strugnell (my sister Madonna's partner for 11 years and father to Tumoana and Ani) drove me to kedron-wavell in his white truck. I went to the bistro where I had roast Beef,gravy and veges for lunch, went to the blue pacific Room where i bought an poster and waited. Eric Burdon & the New Animals which they were on for more than an hour and a half and they were very good as they had Ansley Dunbar on drums at that time. I did'nt get eric's autograph but it was an experience to see an Legend of 60's British rock and I would like to see him live again if he comes back to Australia in the future. I did'nt know at the time that I would be going reguarly as I am an member there and have been to many more shows there since then. I love Kedron-wavell as it's an great venue and lot of big names play there which what makes it great as well as being one of the popular RSL venues in Brisbane.
