Issi Dye and the Mighty Guys @ the Beach House Stage Coolangatta

On Sunday afternoon June 9th I went to the Beach House stage in Coolangatta to see Australian singer Issi Dye which it was my 6th time seeing him as I had not seen him live since the last Wintersun @ Coolangatta on Saturday June 13th 2010 and he was back at this show by the Mighty Guys. The show started @ 3.15pm and for the next 45 minutes he did an set of classic rock n roll songs by the like of Ricky Nelson, Johnny O'Keefe, Elvis Presley and others and everyone were dancing and enjoying themselves as well as singing along to the songs as well as one of the people watching his performance was Geoff Skewes of the Vibrants. The show finished @ 4pm which after the show Issi had Cd's on sale which I bought one that was an Johnny O'Keefe tribute one and got it signed as well as having a photo with Issi as well as one with Issi and Geoff and also said hi to Mike Lawler which he said that might be an DIg Richards tribute thing @ next year's Cooly which it's great to see. I walked back to Bella Mare which I saw my rockabilly friend Laura Price on the way. It was an AWESOME show with great singing by Issi who always puts on an great show and gets everyone to sing along and great playing by the Mighty Guys with great guitar playing by Mick Hamilton as well as everyone having an great time including myself and also to those who have not seen Issi Dye live go and see him as he puts on an great show.
