On Saturday night June 8th I went to the Coolangatta Surf Club to see Tamworth rockabilly singer Shelley Minson which it was my 4th time seeing her which was also my first time seeing her perform in an venue. I walk to the Surf Club, show the card, went upstairs, had Rib Fillet, Chips and Salad for dinner, drank Pepsi max, ate Cherry Ripe Slice for desert, went to the spot where the show was, Saw Shelley Minson and saw Michael and Sabena. The show started at 7.30pm with Shelley backed by her own band including her husband guitarist and producer Laurie Minson doing 4 sets and performed songs her album Rockability as well as songs by Eddie Cochran, Wanda Jackson, Hank Williams, Johnny O'Keefe, Roy Orbison and others as well as Laurie doing some lead vocals too which he sounded great and also Tyler was there with Leanne and model Miss Lulu Devine was there too and Shelley looked great dressing in cowgirl clothes. The show finished @ 11.30pm, thanked Shelley who was going back to Tamworth the next morning, got an photo as well as an selfie, rang Dad and went back to Bella Mare. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone enjoyed themselves as well myself and Shelley sang great as well as her band with Laurie were great too and I hope she comes back to Cooly Rocks On next year.
