Issi Dye and Danny Mayers @ Wynnum Bowls Club






 This afternoon I went to Wynnum Bowls Club to see legendary Australian Issi Dye along with Danny Mayers former lead singer of the legendary Australian singing group the Delltones and it was my second time seeing Issi as I saw him with Tony Worsley at Twin Towns on Tuesday January 14th this year. I caught the train from the city to Wynnum Central, walk to the bowls club, fill in form, bought Coke Zero, went to an table, saw Issi and Les, drank Coke Zero, saw Danny Mayers which I had an conversation with him and waited. The Show started after 2pm with Issi coming on first  which he did songs by Johnny O'Keefe, Col Joye and Johnny Ray as well as telling stories about the people he worked with and then Danny Mayers come which he did bit of Delltones, Drifters and Four Seasons and also mentioned me as one of the supporters for both of them. There was an interval which I met James who worked at the ABC doing audio, ate chips and drank Coke Zero and then there was the second set which Issi did 3 songs and Danny did  some Cliff Richard songs as well as Issi joined him for an few more songs. The show finished after 4pm which Brian  said an few words afterwards, bought an CD by Issi which he signed it as well as an DVD, spoke with Andre the guitarist, put my name down for the Issi Dye and Glen Douglas show next month, said Goodbye To Danny, went to 7-11, bought crackers and Coke Zero, ate Crackers, drank Coke Zero, caught bus and got Off at Cannon Hill. Caught bus, got off at Carindale and walk home. It was an FANTASTIC show with great singing by Issi and Danny backed by Les and Andre with great entertainment as well and everyone was enjoying themselves. This was my first time seeing an live show in 10 months because of COVID which I missed it and am glad that I got to see an live show again. I look forward to seeing Issi live again next month and look forward to seeing Danny sometime next year. To those who have not seen Issi Dye live do yourselves an favour and SEE HIM as he puts on an Great show  and you will be truly entertained.
