the funsters show @ carina leagues club

Last Friday night July 19th I went to Carina Leagues Club to see the Funsters an local group who play around Brisbane and the Gold Coast which it was my first time seeing them and 2 of the members Greg and Rose are an also an sing duo called Chi Chi.Dad took me to the club around 6.20pm which I had for dinner Lasanga,chips and salad and for desert had Ice Cream. The show started @ 8pm which for the 3 and an half hours they did songs from the 60's up to the current top 40 by acts like the Monkees, Dragon, Creedence, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Jones,Queen, the BEatles and many others and in between intervals had drinks of water. The show finished @ 11.40pm which I thanked the group and caught the cab home. The show was excellent which everyone had a great time including myself and the Funsters were just excellent with great singing by Rose as well as great playing by Greg and the others and I look forward to see the group again soon.
