Apia Good Times Show @ QPAC May 31st

On Friday May 31st I went to QPAC to see the APIA Good Times show which was my 3rd time seeing it and the line up were Vika and Linda from the Black Sorrows, Joe Camilleri, Kate Cebrano, John Paul Young, ross Wilson, Russell Morris and Brian Cadd. I caught the bus from Cannon Hill to South Bank, saw Angie and her husband Michael, went to Yellowfin where I had T Bone Steak and Veges for dinner, ate Sundae at the Food Court and walk to QPAC. Bought Program and Kate Cebrano CD, saw Janine from work, put bag in locker, went inside, write notes and waited. The show started after 7.3pm with Vika and Linda doing 2 of their hits from the 90's, Ross Wilson did a song from Mondo Rock and Daddy Cool, Russell Morris his 1971 hit Sweet Sweet Love, Kate Cebrano came on next which she did 2 of her hits, John Paul Young with Warren The Pig Morgan on piano doing I Hate The Music, Joe Camilleri did 2 of the Black Sorrows songs and Brian Cadd did 2 of his 70's hits and there was an interval where I bought a bag, saw an old friend named Laine whose parents were friends with my Mum for years until 2011, drank Coke Zero, saw the 2 blokes I saw @ Wynnum RSL and went back inside. The 2nd half started with each of the acts doing their hits like Ross Wilson with some more Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock classics, Joe Camilleri doing some more Black Sorrows and Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons, Vika and Linda doing the Black Sorrows hit Never Let me Go, Kate Ceberano doing her hits from the 80's and 90's, Brian Cadd did Out Of Time with Russell Morris as well as doing A Little Ray Of Sunshine and John Paul Young performed 2 of his 70's hits which he finished the show with Love Is In The Air with the other performers back the singer up. The show finished after 10pm, got my bag out of the cloak room, the artists came out to sign the programs as well as merchandises, went to the bus stop, caught bus, got off at Carindale, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself, each of the performers still sound great and singing better than ever as well as entertaining the crowd and the back up band were FANTASTIC and also I look forward to see the show again next year.
