Issi Dye @ Coolangatta Sands Hotel June 8th 2017

On Thursday June 8th I went to the Coolangatta Sands Hotel to see legendary Australian entertainer Issi Dye which it was my second time seeing an show there and it's my 9th time seeing issi. I walk to the Coolangatta Sands Hotel, ordered my dinner Chicken Schnitzel, chips and salad , saw Les who manages Issi and drank Coke. The show started at 6pm with Issi coming on stage with Les doing the music which he did 3 sets doing rock and roll songs by Johnny O'Keefe, Col Joye, Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin, The everly Brothers, Johnny Cash and others as well as having my dinner during the first set as well as saying Issi during the first interval as well as getting Issi's autograph and an photo in the second interval and the best highlight for me at that show was seeing Issi Dye doing She's My Baby with rockabilly singer Shelley Minson from Tamworth who was in Coolangatta for the festival which they sounded so great together as they did an great job which I met Shelley in the second interval and she gave me an card and also everyone was having an great time dancing. The show finished at 8.30pm which I thanked Issi and Les, went to Macca where I ate an Sundae and drank Coke Zero and went back to Bella Mare. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had an great time and Issi sang and sounded great as always as well as very entertaining as well as I already mentioned the duet with Shelley. I look forward to seeing issi at Cooly Rocks On next year and if you have not seen Issi live do yourselves an favour and see him as he puts on an FANTATSIC show which everyone enjoys it.
