Wintersun 2010-Wanda jackson @ coolangatta Hotel june 13th 2010








The last night show I attended was US 50's rockabilly singer Wanda jackson @ the Coolangatta Hotel which it was the 3rd time I saw her live which the other 2 were the Wintersun Marquee on thursday June6th 2007 and @ Twin towns Saturday june 7th 2008. She puts on an great show doing the stuff she made famous and tells some stories in between songs. The supports acts before Wanda were The Rechords and the sky Rockets which they were very good as they did their own songs as well as some covers and in between braks I saw my friends Kat,Les,haylee,laura,Kayla which i had met that afternoon,sheri,laura and Paulie and also met his wife KAren after the rechords performance on the balcony @ the Coolangatta Hotel. Wanda came on and she was just FANTASTIC doing the classic song she made famous for back in the 50's & early 60's and told stories about working with Elvis, how she accepted jesus in her life and things that have been happening to her including the rock'n'roll Hall of fame induction and recording with jack White(the White Stripes) and also she was backed up by melbourne rock group Itchy Fingers which they were Great backing her up. her show finished about 11.50pm and had stuff on sale after the show like photos,Cd and a vinyl she did with jack White. I got my autograph and a photo with Wanda and it was such a thrill to see her live again which she is just great and still going at 72 years old. the flatrakkers were the next band on after that but I could'nt stay for that one as it was to finish after 1.30am and I went back to bella mare @ about 12.40am.
