Thursday 4th June
The real action at Wintersun starts on the Friday so today we just wondered around Coolangatta looking at various shops and vintage cars. Maria discovered "That Shop" and got two Bette Page dresses – cost a small fortune – but worth it.
Then had lunch back at the unit with Ken, Sharon and Sharyn, before picking up Michael and Lesley and headed to Seagulls for dinner and the Rockabilly Jamboree.
The wintersun office really pulled out the big guns this year. With some great bands. Wes & sonic aces, The Satellites, Pat Capocci combo, Luis & The Wildfires (mexico), The Vargas Bros (USA) and a special appearance from Sabrina Kelly (USA) Deadbeat covergril (Some serious fun bags on this one – if she fell over she would bounce straight back up again!!!!) we had an awesome night!
Friday 5th June
We checked out the Wintersun Vintage markets in the morning
We organised dinner with Chris & Jimmy, Ken, Sharyn and Sharon, Mark and Sue, Chrissy, Ray, Claudette and Jess (who is going to be a father!!!) We had dinner at the Bali Hut (opposite Twin Towns) – great service and food – we all had a fun night and was great to catch up!!!
Saturday 6th June
Maria headed off back to the Markets, while Michael spent most of the day at the swing stage. We watched some great bands including - Quick Draw McGraws, Harry DeLuxe, The Satellites (again), Darling Buds of May.
Mikey and I headed into Tugun for the Rugcutter’s swing ball with Big Kitty and the Scaredy Cats. The sound, floor and the company where great!! Mikey even won a crystal bowl! We had a ball!!!!!
Sunday 7th June
Headed to the local surf club for a great value breakfast before heading back to the unit for a brief thunderstorm. Maria caught up with Lesley for lunch watched a few bands headed back early to do mine and Sue’s hair for the Ball, While Michael went back to Stage 10 (swing stage) and watched some more great bands including - The Dirty Boogie Band, Adam Hall & The Velvet Playboys, The Gamble Sisters, and The Velvet Set.
During a break in the bands Michael caught up with Baz and Jenny and teh kids.
We all headed into to Seagulls to she the Darling Buds of May (WA)and Harry Deluxe – who where excellent yet again!!!!
