Eras of Elvis @ the Elvis Precinct

On Wednesday Night June 5th I attended my first Cooly Rocks On show for 2024 which I went to the Eras of Elvis show at the Elvis Precinct in Coolangatta and before going to the show stopped at the Coolangatta Hotel which i had Pork Ribs, Baked Potatoes, corn and Slaw for Dinner. Went to the Elvis Precinct, show the people ticket, sat down and use mobile. The show started after 7.30pm with Elvis tribute performer Dean Vegas who I had saw on May 31st @ Kedron Wavell doing the MC as Kay who normally does it could'nt come and the first act coming on stage which was 15 year old Charlie Gaylard which he did 2 songs, then Jack Gatto wore the leather gear that Elvis wore in the 68 Special came on stage doing an medley of Elvis songs, Damian Mullin who wore the red gear that Elvis wore in the 70's came on stage which he performed 2 songs and then Louis Brown who is from the UK came on stage doing 3 songs including Johnny Be Goode which he did it with Dean Vegas which finished the first set, Saw my cousin Keryn and her Husband Wayne who are in the Gold Coast at the moment, bought Coke with No Sugar and Stubby Holder , drank Coke with No Sugar, use mobile and went inside. Charlie came back on which he did 2 songs, Jack Gatto did 2 songs including If I Can Dream, Damian Mullin wearing the white gear that Elvis wore in the 70's perfomed 2 songs, Louis Brown came on which he did 2 songs,Charlie, Damian, Louis and jack with Riley Anderson did one song each and then it ended with Can't Help Falling In Love which all of them as well as Dean sang it.
