the Avengers @ Easts Leagues Club November 9th 2014

Last Sunday I went to the Easts Leagues Club to see Brisbane group the Avengers which it was my 5th time seeing them this year as well as my 22nd time seeing them altogether. I caught the bus to the club from the city and when I arrived at the club I saw George Savva the sax player from the Brisbane rock n roll group the Dominoes. I went to the Cafe where I had Nachos for lunch, ate muffin and Ice Cream and saw the guys which I sat at their table as I would be there throughout the show. The show stared @ 1pm and they did 4 sets as they did stuff by Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Buddy Holly, The Eagles and others as well as during one set Frank who knows the guys played drums on 2 songs and had conversations with the others in between sets which was great to see. The show finished @ 5pm which I thanked the guys as well as getting an photo with them and went outside which Dad with Mum picked up to go home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and the group played great and sounding great as always as well as seeing Lorraine and to those who have not seen the Avengers GO AND SEE THEM which you should have a great time enjoying and listen to great music of great eras.The Avengers will be at Easts leagues Club on Friday November 28th so don't miss out.
