The Chevrolets @ Twin Towns





On Thursday June 9th I went to twin Towns to see the group the Chevrolets whom I had not seen live since November 2009 but I saw Bernie last year @ Kedron-Wavell for the Rock'n'Roll Spectacular show for the endeavour Foundation. I had bought the ticket on Monday as I planning to see them anyway and on the day of the show I got there around 10.30am which i went to the 5th floor and bought an CD by the Chevrolets called "The Way It Was" where I saw Ruth(Bernie's wife) and told me that the guys would come out to sign after the show. Went inside the showroom which i sat at the front and the Chevrolets with Bernie Hutton,martin Hope,Ricky Wilson and Allan Kershaw came on stage at about 11am which they were on for an hour and a half which it was an FANTASTIC show doing the British Invasion stuff of the 60's from the likes of the Beatles,
Rolling Stones,the Hollies, Hermans Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers and others as well as good humor which Bernie attempted an rap version of He ain't heavy as well as Ricky doing an drunken version of Cinderella and martin putting an big ear thing towards the end of the show. The show finished at 12.30pm, went outside which I got My CD signed by the guys, saw Bob whom i had met at Kedron wavell in April and got an photo with the guys . I enjoy seeing the Chevrolets and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to an tribute to the British 60's Invasion.
