My first call is in The Prince Of Wales club.
This is where Brian Cliff and I usually join up for a chat. The artiste on is Ian Tyler, I mis - read the poster this week but no matter, Ian is a good 'un. He always looks good on stage, casually smart and tonight is no exception. He moves well, in fact he is never still. Ian opened up with an Elvis song, 'Heartbreak Hotel' followed by a medley of Elvis Presley songs; a really powerful opening. There were Roy Orbison songs, Elvis Costello songs, there was a surprise for me when Ian sang a song that both Elvis and Peter, Paul and Mary recorded, 'Early Morning Rain'. There was Bobby Darin's, 'Dream Lover'. I like Ian's set tonight, very different from the last time I heard him. There was a Neil Diamond's, 'Sweet Caroline'. A very good set Ian; he closed with a great Eagles song, 'Desperado'.
Townsville Miners Club is just a short drive from The Prince Of Wales. WMC, I called in this club to see my friends John and Sharon Fitzpatrick. John was on stage into his second set when I arrived, he was singing a Garth Brooks song called, 'The Dance', a lovely song. There were songs by, Tony Christie, Gene Pitney. John ended this set with a song by Danielle Merry Weather called, 'Red'. I like the song and the guy who is singing it right now.
