Kelly Rocks Gero

The Wa Roffs have recently experienced eastern states civilization with Paul Kelly's concert here last night. (It's still a small town though cause we made Dan say happy birthday to a mate from the stage!)
What a fantastic live show! Its amazing how such a little guy with no hair and crooked teeth can turn out such speccy music.
...and paul kelly was good too.
Seriously - it was great.

Warm up from Little Birdy singer Katy Steele (WA girl like the best of 'em) wasn't too shabby either!

Playlist included the entire Stolen Apples CD and an hour of greatest hits, only downside was it was a sitting concert venue and no dancing.
We did however perfect the head-bopping, leg-tapping, bum-shuffling old foggies dancing technique.

Caught up with Dan after, great to have a chat - we tactfully steered clear of Amanda talk...but I'm still up for sitting next to Uncle Paul if it ever comes off...
I'll even buy Amanda another opp-shop dress if that is going to swing it.

-Rock

Seriously, John, you can't stay over there forever. Gero stops for a Paul Kelly concert - I can't believe it. How about thinking of US for a change instead of just yourself? Glenn or Stuart could get you a job. You're depriving us of the company of Jan, Lizzie, Zac and K8 while they're in their prime. Paul Kelly plays here every goddamn week!

Happy Birthday Big Guy. Did Paul Kelly do that unbelievably long Don Bradman song? I'm pretty sure Paul Kelly has not played in Armidale however Loose has, and it was pretty good.

Very topical because I distinctly heard one of Dan Kellys songs playing in the background of "Neighbours" the other night. Now thats an accomplishment! Not that I watch "Neighbours" on a regular basis or anything.

Thanks very much for the attempted bribery Uncle John, but it will take slightly more than a trip to East Gosford St Vincent de Paul to convince me that going out with Dan is a good idea. He's a great guy but the life of a rock star's wife is not for me. So..if you love him so much why don't you marry him!
