Australian Buddy Holly Tribute Show @ Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club June 11th 2016

On Saturday Night June 11th I went to the Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club to see the Australian Buddy Holly Tribute Show which has Chris Knight and I only saw Chris the night as he was on the bill on the Legends show with Issi Dye and Eddie Daniels. I went to the Golf Club with Mum, Dad and Heath where we had an buffet dinner and an Ice Cream for Desert, went inside, bought an Bill Hillman CD, saw Colin and Peter who works at the Golf Club, spoke with Gail which we spoke about the Old ROckers Get Together and Jeff Langdon's passing, drank Pepsi Max and took a photo. The show started @ 8.30pm with the back up doing some rock n roll songs and then Chris Knight came on the stage which in the first set he performed Buddy Holly stuff as well as other rock songs by Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochran and there was an interval which I had an drink of water. In the Second set the back up band did some more rock songs and then Chris came back onstage which he did more Buddy Holly stuff as well as doing the Chuck Berry Classic Johnny Be Goode backed up by an great band with Gail and Bill. The show finished @ 11pm , saw Chris, bill and Gail, went outside, Dad picked up me and went back to bella mare. It was an AWESOME show which everyone had a great time including myself and Chris is just AWESOME doing the Buddy Holly stuff which he does it so well as well as the back up were FANTASTIC with Bill on Guitar and Gail on keyboards as well as doing some guitar and also I look forward to seeing Chris again soon.
