Fabba and Boney M Experience show @ Kedron Wavell

on Sunday March 17th I went to Kedron Wavell to see the tribute shows Fabba and the Boney M Experience which it was my first time seeing these shows. I caught the bus to Chermside from the city, had a look at Dymocks where I bought an Joan Collins book, saw John from work which I met a friend of his, went to JB HI Fi where I bought the new Peter Garrett album and walk to Kedron Wavell. Went To The Kitchen, rang Dad, ordered my Meal, bought Coke with No Sugar, did writing. Had rump combo (Steak, Chips, salad and chicken Wings), drank Coke With No Sugar, ate Fundae, went to the toilet, waited and went to the Blue Pacific Room. Ate chips. drank coke With No Sugar, use mobile, did writing and waited. The show started @ 3.09pm with Fabba coming out on stage which they did the classic Abba hits from the 70's including Mamma Mia, SOS, Fernando which they got the audience using the phones as lights and wave it around and Waterloo as well as great humour from the band including the keyboard player doing Benny and there was an interval which I drank Coke With No Sugar and use mobile. The show resumed with the Boney M Experience came on stage which the 3 ladies Edna, Fabienne and Maureen had worked with original member Bobby Farrell until he sadly passed away in 2010 and performed many of the classic Boney M hits including Sunny, Belfast, It's A Holi-Holiday, Rasputin and many others including the Bob Marley song No Woman No Cry which during Belfast Maureen walk through the audience shaking hands as well as getting the crowds to sing along to the songs also Daz who is in the group doing great movements. The show finished before 5.2opm, walk to the bus stop, caught bus to the city, drank Coke with No Sugar and caught bus to Carindale. Went to the Carindale Hotel, had Braised Beef and Mushroom Pie for dinner, drank Coke With No Sugar, rang Dad, he picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had an great time including myself and both Fabba and the Boney M Experience were FANTASTIC too doing the great songs that has stood the test of time and still sounding great today as it did back then which towards the end of the Boney M Experience's set some of the audience were on the stage with them which was amazing and also they know how to entertain the crowds. I hope both Fabba and the Boney M Experience come back to Brisbane again in the future and if you have not seen them please do yourselves an favour and SEE THEM which you will be impressed and amazed.
