I'm Still Standing Elton John Tribute show @ Carina Leagues Club





On Friday August 26th I went to Carina Leagues Club to see the Elton John tribute show I'm Still Standing that has Greg Andrew doing Elton John and it was my first time seeing an Elton John tribute show. the show started at about 8.15pm- 8.20pm with Greg Andrew and the band coming out which they did the first set doing the Elton John stuff and there was an break which I saw an lady i know named Karen Riding and had an bottle of water. the second set Greg doing more of the Elton john classics and some people came on the dance floor including myself having an great time. I love the clips on the screen when Greg was doing those Elton classics and the band with Dave, Trent and Layla were just great. the show finished at 11pm which I met Layla and then met Greg which i got an photo with him which he was nice and friendly. It was an FANTASTIC show and I had an great time which Greg was just excellent doing those Elton John songs.If you get an chance to see him live check it out and you can go to imstillstanding.com.au
