Issi Dye @ Greenmount Beach Surf Club

On Thursday June 5th I went to see Australian singer Issi Dye who I last saw an year at Coolangatta and I walk to the venue from Twin Towns where I had dinner with Mum which I saw Les and Tyler who i had not seen for nearly a year. The show started at 7pm with Issi and Glenn Douglas coming out which they did 2 set of classic rock and roll songs by Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, Bobby Darin, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and many others which in the first set also did Olivia Newton John, Glen Campbell and John Paul Young and there was an interval which I drank water. In the second set an Elvis tribute performer named Terry Leonard joined Issi and Glenn on stage doing 2 Elvis songs as well Issi and Glenn doing songs by Johnny O'Keefe, Col Joye and Neil Diamond. The show finished at 9pm, got photos with Issi and Glenn, walk back to Twin Towns to see Mum and we went back to the Twin Towns sebel. It was an FANTASTIC show with Issi and Glenn singing and sounding great as well as very entertaining and giving the audience an great time which they certainly did as they danced on the floor to the songs and tomorrow(Monday) Issi will be performing at Twin Towns with Glenn Douglas, Sharon Lee, Terry Leonard and Scott Robson at 11am which if you would like to see them please do yourselves an favour and SEE THEM as you will be truly entertained as well as impressed and amazed.
