Issi Dye & Shelley Minson @ the Greenmount Stage

On Friday Morning June 8th I went to the Greenmount Stage to see Issi Dye for the second time in a row and rockabilly singer from Tamworth Shelley Minson who was at Cooly Rocks On last year which she made an great impression. The show started at 11.30am with Grizzly Adams an Disc Jockey from NSW on FM Vintage Radio doing the compere with Issi and Shelley with her husband Lawrie Minson on guitar who is well on the music scene coming on the stage and did an 45 minute set which they did songs by Col Joye, Hank Williams, Eddie Cochran, Wanda Jackson and others with great guitar playing by Lawrie as well as the great singing by Issi and Shelley as well as the people dancing and enjoying themselves as well as me being interviewed for 7 news which they were doing an segment for the news. The show finished at 12.15pm with Issi and Shelley doing Frankie and Johnny which they recorded last year and after the show they had CD's on sale which I bought them as well as getting them signed and photos with issi and Shelley which they are very nice people and nice to the fans too and also I saw my facebook friend Tyler who was getting stuff signed. It was an FANTASTIC show which Issi and Shelley sang great together and everyone had an great time including myself and I hope issi and shelley come back to Cooly Rocks next year which would be great and if you want to see Issi's shows do yourselves an favour and see it which he puts on an great show doing great rock and roll as well as entertaining the crowds and the same with Shelley as she puts on an great show herself doing an mixture of original songs and covers. Set List- Bye Bye Baby Summer Holiday Let's Have A Party Hey Good Looking Things Don't be Cruel Tutti Frutti All Shook Up One Last Kiss(Issi's single 1970) Summertime Blues You're Sixteen Frankie and Johnny
