Australian Buddy Holly Show @ Easts Leagues Club

Tonight I went to the Easts Leagues Club where I saw the Australian Buddy Holly Show which it was my first time since CRO 2018 Sunday June 10th 2018 at Coolangatta Tweed Golf Club although I saw Kris at Greazefest 2018 and 2019. Dad took me to the club from Holland Park which I with Mum, Heath and my niece Ani had Fish, chips and Scallops for dinner, saw Gail and Tina (Kris' partner), ate Caramel Slice, drank Coke Zero and saw Johnny who I know from the gigs. The show started at 8pm with Kris and the band coming on stage which in the first set did an mixture of Buddy Holly classics as well as rock and roll classics by Dion, Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochran which he was wearing the blue suit and there was an interval which I saw Maggie as well as having an Coke Zero to drink as well as looking at the cricket on the TV. The second set started with Kris wearing the white suit coming back on stage doing more Buddy classics as well as other classic rock and roll songs by Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and Jerry lee Lewis and everyone was enjoying themselves and having an great time as well as getting everyone to sing an long. The show finished around 10.20pm, saw Kris, Saw Adonna, got an photo with Kris and Gail, saw Dad, drank Coke Zero, went in the car and came. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and Kris played and sounded great backed by an great band including Gail on keyboards and guitar, Bill Hillman on lead guitar and Leon on Bass which they do an great job with Kris and it's great to see the music of Buddy Holly still appreciated after all these years and also great rock and roll. I look forward to seeing Kris again soon and to those who have not seen the show do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you'll love it and impressed.
