Millie Small & Connie Francis of Singapore

And so The Silver Strings (Audie background) with Veronica Young singing, 'My Boy Lollipop', 'Where The Boys Are' and 'Hippy, Hippy Shake.'

When she sang the audience was able to stand up and stretch themselves. Sitting two hours on gallery seats was something. They did some exercises with her as she sang.

Roll Over Beethoven - Shades of Chuck Berry!

More pictures coming in, this time from Steven Farram in Australia. Steve is a great fan of 60s music and flew all the way down from Darwin to watch the VivoCity Concert in Nov 08.

More about each band member in later blogs. Roll Over Beethoven!
