The show started @ 11am with Keith coming on stage starting off by saying Hello I'm Bob Katter as well as singing Hey Good Looking and for the next hour and an half he performed some of the Seekers stuff, his own songs from his solo albums as well as country songs and other oldie songs and also told some great stories about his career including the Seekers as well as mentioning the it is 50 years when the Seekers were formed and also having an great and funny sense of humor. The show finished after 12.30pm which he had CD's and DVD on sale after the show and he came out to sign the stuff which I bought the 2 CD's Sunday and Smile and an live DVD and got them signed as well as seeing Darren J Ray who was on holidays himself and also got photos with Keith. It was an FANTASTIC show which I had an great time and Keith put on an FANTASTIC show as well which everyone there was enjoying themselves. It was an honor and an thrill to have seen Keith as well as meeting him and getting an photo as well. To those who have not seen Keith Potger live go and see him which he puts on an great Show and well worth seeing live.
