the Avengers show @ Easts Leagues Club Friday April 13th

Last Friday April 13th I went to Easts Leagues CLub to see the Brisbane rock group the Avengers which it was my 5th time seeing them as well as my 3rd time so far this year. The show started at 7.30pm which they did 4 FANTASTIC sets of songs from the 50's,60's,70's,80's up to now and mostly the same songs they did at Easts on March 30th but they did do some an few different songs too which was great. I saw my Facebook friend Sue there which it was nice to see her again having had seen there on the 30th of March as well. The show finished @ 11.30pm which it was an FANTASTIC show and everyone had an great time as well as I did and i said hi to the guys after the show which I asked Graham about the original lead singer which he said he is still around but could'nt keep up with the work and also they will be back at Easts Leagues CLub on Saturday may 19th which i will be going to that one.
