Brian Cadd and Russell Morris show @ kedron Wavell 18/11/11






Last Friday November 18th I went to kedron Wavell Services Club where I saw legendary Australian singer songwriters Russell Morris and Brian Cadd which it was my 9th time seeing Russell and my 4th seeing brian which prior to last Friday I had not seen Russell since the Cotton keays and Morris show @ kedron Wavell on Friday October 16th 2009 and Brian @ Mt Gravatt Bowls Club with Russell on Saturday April 26th 2008. the show started @ 8.25pm with brian and Russell coming on stage starting with an song from their new album "I'm In Love Again" and would be on stage for the hour and 45 minutes doing their hits as well as another sing from their new Album and finished off with the classic Rolling Stones hit "Honky TOnk WOmen". the finished around 10.10pm which both Brian and Russell were FANTASTIC sounding great as ever as well as their whack sense of humor which was very funny and Brian mentioned that he was going to be an grandfather in an week and an half and also the back up band were just FANTASTIC with Peter an Queenslander on guitar and on drums John Creech who was one of the original members of the Mixtures from 1965-70 as well as an member of Bluestone. i saw my friends Pauline and Michael after the show and got to meet John creech which he was amazed that I knew about him being in the Mixtures when the group was formed in 1965 as well as them touring with the yardbirds as well as being on the Go Show which I got an autograph and photos as well as asking about what are the members of the group doing these days which he said Idris Jones Lives on the Gold Coast and some of the others including Fred Weiland living in the UK. Saw an lady named Lyn who follows my blog, met Doris and got photos and autographs with Russell and Brian. It was an FANTASTIC show and look forward to see them either together or on their own soon and to those who have not seen them live go and check them out as they put on an FANTASTIC show.
