Today I went to Twin Towns to see legendary Australian singer Issi Dye and the Legends of Rock and Roll Show which had Glenn Douglas, Lisa Stewart, Peter Trianitis and Sharon Lee and I had only saw Issi and Glenn 5 days ago during Cooly Rocks On at the Greenmount Surf CLub. I caught the bus to Westfield and then to South Bank, caught train to Varsity Lakes, caught the bus to Coolangatta, rang Dad and walk to Twin Towns. Went to the showroom and write notes.

The show finished after 12.30pm and after the show Issi and Glenn had CD's on sale which they came out to sign them as well as getting photos with the fans which I got photos with Issi, Glenn, Sharon and Peter as well as meeting Sharon's daughter. Went to the bakery where I had an pie and Coke With No Sugar, caught bus to Varsity Lakes, caught train to South Brisbane, rang Dad and Caught bus home. It was an FANTASTIC show with great performances by Issi who is always FANTASTIC as well as very entertaining, Lisa, Peter, Sharon and Glenn all sounded great too as singing very well too and everyone enjoyed themselves including myself.
