Issi Dye @ Greenmount Beach Club

On Thursday June 7th I went to Greenmount Beach Club to see legendary Australian singer Issi Dye and it was my 3rd time going to see an show @ Greenmount Beach Club which last time was 4 years ago when I Saw Digger Revell on Sunday June 8th 2014. Issi Dye came on stage at about 7pm and for the next 2 hours he did 2 sets doing the classic rock and roll songs by Johnny O'Keefe, Elvis Presley, Col joye, Cliff Richard, Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson and many others as well as entertaining the crowds getting to sing along to the songs and getting them to dance which everyone was enjoying themselves and was backed by Les Rotman who manages Issi as well as playing piano and also had CD's on sale which he would sign them after the show. The show finished before 9pm, bought the CD, saw Issi which I got it signed as well as getting an photo and walk back to Bella Mare. It was an FANTASTIC show which I had an great time as well as everyone else and great singing and entertaining by Issi who is an great entertainer who gets the crowd going as well as getting them entertained and also an very nice guy who is friendly to the fans. He was the Ambassador for CRO 2018 which he did an great job and reminded the fans about the happenings of CRO for that weekend. I would see him again the next day.
