Official Blues Brothers Revue @ Kedron Wavell

Last Night I went to Kedron Wavell where I saw the Official Blues Brothers Revue show which was the first time I have seen them and it is sanctioned by Dan Ackroyd who was in the Blues Brothers movie in 1980 and Judith Belushi widow of John Belushi. Dad took me to the bus stop, caught bus, read Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough book which I finished after 1 day, read Rick Astley book, got off at Chermside and walk to Kedron Wavell. Went to the Kitchen, rang Dad, had a look at menu, ordered my meal, use my mobile, write notes and read Book. Had Rump Combo(Steak, Chips, salad and Chicken Wings) for dinner, drank Coke with No Sugar, waited for my plates to get collected but didn't as well as my desert which i waited until 7.50pm, went to the Blue Pacific Room. The show started at 8.10pm with the back up band doing Peter Gunn as well as an film clip of the 2 guys Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty (Jake and Elwood) getting up and going to the gig and came on stage which they did 2 sets doing the songs that were in the Blues Brothers movie including Gimme Some Lovin, Rocket 88, Minnie The Moocher, Do You Love Me, Everybody Needs Somebody To Love, Rawhide and many others as well as there was an interval where I had an Coke with No Sugar to drink and also the band got the crowd to sing along to some of the songs as well as showing pictures of certain acts including Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi. The show finished at 9.52pm, saw my friend Mark, went downstairs, went outside, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which the band played great and Wayne and Kieron sounded and sang great as well as very entertaining giving the crowd an real great show which everyone had an great time as I knwo I did. I hope they come back again soon and if you have not seen them please do yourselves an favour and SEE THEM which you will be impressed and amazed as well as entertained by great music.
