Issi with Andrea and Peter came on stage which started just before 7pm which in the first set performed songs by Johnny Cash, Bobby Darin, The Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley as well as Peter sang some songs as well as Andrea singing some too and also for part of that 1st set that I had Pork Ribs, Chips and Salad for dinner. There was an interval and in the second set Issi, Andrea and Peter came back on which they performed songs by Johnny O'Keefe, the Monkees, Ricky Nelson, Olivia Newton John and Chuck Berry as well as Terry Leonard who is an Elvis tribute peformer joined Issi on stage for 2 songs and also saw Les who worked with Issi as well as Tyler and Leanne who are engaged. The show finished at 9pm which I saw Issi and got an photo with him, went to Woolworths where I bought groceries and walk back to Twin Towns Mantra. It was an FANTASTIC show with great singing by Issi as well as Andrea and Peter and also very entertaining giving the audience an great time and singing along to the songs.
