Ross Wilson @ Leftys Music Hall

Yesterday afternoon I went to the Leftys Music Hall on Caxton Street to see legendary Australian singer-songwriter Ross Wilson known for the 2 legendary Australian bands Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock and it was my first time going to Leftys which I had heard so much about but never been there until yesterday as well as being my 9th time seeing Ross live as the last time I saw him was at Koala Tavern Saturday June 24th 2023. The show started at 3.30pm with the support act Turns doing an short set and there was an interval which I had Pepsi Max. Ross Wilson came out at about 4.20pm and for the next hour and an half did an set of the Daddy Cool songs as well as the Mondo Rock songs as well as some of solo work including Touch of Paradise which was the hit for John Farnham as well as performing 2 Skyhooks songs as he produced the 1st three albums for Skyhooks as well as mentioning his first visit to Brisbane in 1969 with the Party Machine as he mentioned that the band were ripped off and talked about the Concert for John Farnham recently. The show finished at 5.50pm, saw Mark, walk to Roma Street, caught bus to Carindale, Had Steak, Chips and Salad for Dinner, Drank Coke With No Sugar, Dad picked me and came home. It was an FANTASTIC show which everyone had a great time including my self and Ross is still sounding great at 78 79 on November 18th as he is still singing better than ever as well as giving the audience an great time backed by the Peaceniks which they played great too. If you have not seen Ross Wilson please do yourselves an favour and SEE HIM which you will be impressed and amazed as well as bringing back memories for those who grew up in the 70's and 80's as well as those who are discovering the music for the 1st time which it's an experience.
