I caught the bus to Cleveland from Carindale, walk to Redland Performance Arts centre, bought Ice Cream and Coke With No Sugar, ate Ice Cream, Drank Coke With No Sugar, went inside and use mobile. The show started at 2pm with Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock coming on stage which they did started with the song the Two Amigos and both performed their 60's hits with their successful bands Glenn with the Twilights and Brian with the Groop as well as Axiom as well as songs that influenced by acts like Dion, Little Richard, The Beatles and the Everly Brothers as well as telling stories about their careers as well as mentioning Hoadleys Battles of the Sounds and there was an interval where I bought an Brian Cadd CD, had a Coke With No Sugar, went back inside and saw Robyn and her daughter Haylee. The show resumed Brian Cadd coming on stage which he did solo hits from the 1970's as well as the song he wrote for John Farnham Don't You know It's Magic and then Glenn Shorrock came back on stage doing the Little River Band songs as well as Brian Cadd coming back on stage for the last 2 songs which ended with The Rolling Stones song Honky Tonk Woman. the show ended after 4.35pm, Brian Cadd came out to sign stuff, saw Ray who I know from the gigs, got the 2 CD's signed by Brian, got photos, went to the bus stop, caught bus to Carindale, bought Coke With No Sugar from Coles, Dad picked me up and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including myself and Glenn and Brian still sounding great and singing great as well as very entertaining getting the audience going as well as their great sense of humor and backed up by an great band including Angus Burchall who played drums with John Farnham. I look forward to see Brian and Glenn again soon and if you have not seen them please do yourselves an favour and SEE THEM which you will be impressed and amazed.
