Wintersun 2010-the big O experience @ Coolangatta Tweed golf Club June 12th 2010









On Saturday night went to see the Big O Experience @ Coolangatta Tweed Golf CLub which had Gerard O'Donoghue doing ROy Orbison and the special guest Ezra Lee. It was my 4th time seeing Gerard as I first saw him @ Southport RSL on Saturday February 19th 2005, Kedron-Wavell on Sunday October 22nd 2006 and Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club on Sunday June 10th 2007 and had seen Ezra Lee @ Holland Park Bowls Club last year which he was FANTASTIC. The show started with an group called After Hours who did an medley of rock songs then Ezra Lee came on and he put on an FANTASTIC show as he did an mixture of Jerry Lee Lewis,Little Richard,Carl Perkins,Cold Chisel and his own song which there was an interval after that. Gerard came on and did an FANTASTIC and Rockin Show as he did the Roy orbison stuff from the 50's to 80's including the travelling wilburys ones and Gerard did I Still Call Australia home just before the show which he sounded great doing the song. The show was just ROCKIN & FANTASTIC and Gerard & Ezra came out after the show which i got autographs and photos with them and also I met an New Zealand guy called Steve and his wife before the show started.
