The Searchers @ Kedron Wavell February 14th 2014
Friday February 14th I went to Kedron Wavell to see legendary British 60's rock group the Searchers which it was my 9th time seeing them live. I caught the bus to Chermside which left cannon Hill at 6pm and walk to Kedron Wavell. I had nachos for dinner, had chocolate Sundae for desert where I bumped in to Pam and my old friend from Crossroads Brett Jones, bought a ticket to see legendary Australian 80's group the Eurogliders on July 26th, went inside and read book while I was waiting as well as using mobile. The show started @ 8.30pm and for the 2 hours and 15 minutes the Searchers did 2 sets which they did the classic hits, some of the album tracks, some rarities including Solitiare and other classic songs including Peggy Sue with John McNally on lead vocals, Frank Allen told stories on stage about the history including working with the Supremes,the Ronettes, the Temptations, as well as their first Australian tour, recording some of the songs and others as well as having great humor stage between John McNally and Frank Allen which was so funny and also getting the crowds to sing along to the songs which it is great to see the keep crowd entertained. The show finished around 10.45pm which the Searchers were selling CD's and DVD's after the show and I got my boxed CD set that they released in 2012 signed as well as getting photos and also caught the cab home. It was a FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and they get better and better everytime I see them as well as doing different songs in the set which it's a good thing and also I saw Brenda and Karlotta. I look forward to see the Searchers again which I hope they come back next year and to those who have not seen the Searchers GO and SEE THEM as you shall enjoy it as well as hearing the songs that still endures to this day after 51 years when they came on the scene as well as bringing back memories for the those who lived in the 60's as well as people who were not born in the 60's but who are interested in that era.
