The show started at 7.30pm with Elvis tribute performer Dean Vegas coming as the MC introducing the acts which the first act to come out was Che Oreton doing an few Elvis songs including Are You Lonesome Tonight, then Toki Toykazu came out wearing the light blue gear that Elvis wore in the 70's came out which he performed 4 songs including Can't Help Falling In Love and Ted Torres Martin came out which he did 4 songs including It's Now Or Never and Such A Night and there was an interval where I bought Coke with No Sugar, drank it and use mobile. The Show started with Che coming out doing 4 songs, Toki came out doing 4 songs including Love and Ted came out 4 songs including Don't which Ted told a story about working with the Jordanaires and DJ Fontana. The show finished at 9pm with Dean saying about those with the VIP's to wait for Ted, Che and Toki to come out to have photos and I went to Woolworths where I got a few things and went back to the Sebel Twin Towns. It was an FANTASTIC show which Che, Toki and Toyakzu sounded great as well as being very entertaining giving the audience an great time as well as an great backing band who played and sounded great and I look forward to seeing them again in the future.
