BEREAVEMENT
It is with sadness that I pass on a message I received on Friday morning from Kay Shoard regarding Catfish (John Purser).
"To our families and friends,
John has passed over and is on his journey home to where his other rocker friends are.
I would like to thank everybody that came to see him, sent messages, all the phone calls and all that love him. Thank you all for your love, friendship and support.
I will always love him and I will miss him, we have been like Bib and Bub for 20 years.
The service will be held on Thursday 27th July at 1pm,
Southport Church of Christ (Cnr Olsen Ave & Griffith Way, Southport),
Private family burial,
Followed by a celebration of his life at Ashmore Tavern at 3pm.
Would love for you to come and help celebrate Catfish's wonderful life.
Love Kay and family xx
Just to clarify we would love you to attend the service and the wake.
It is only the burial that is a private family attendance."
Thank you Kay for inviting us all. I'm sure all the dancers join with Ray and I in wishing you every sympathy and sincere condolences as you come to terms with your loss. Catfish has brought a lot of joy to so many people with his music and he will be greatly missed by us all.

ANOTHER BEREAVEMENT
GEOFF MACK
Albert Geoffrey Mcelhinney OAM (born 20 December 1922 in Surrey Hills, Victgoria, Australia), also known as Geoff Mack, is a country music singer and songwriter. He was awarded a Medal of the Order of Austrlaia on 13 June 2005 with the citation, For service to country music and to the community, particularly through support for senior citizens' groups. As a songwriter, he wrote "I've Been Everywhere" which was an Austrlaian hit for Lucky Starr in April 1962 and became popular in North America when adapted for Hank Snow in November. More than 130 cover versions have been recorded.
A former dancer with Geoff Mack called Ruth called into the ABC Mid North Coast NSW morning programme to report that Geoff Mack had passed away on the Gold Coast on Friday 21 July, aged 94.
___________________________
AND YET ANOTHER BEREAVEMENT
Bruno and Rita (Romio & Juliette" have informed me that Bazza, one of their fellow musicians on the Sunshine Coast, also passed away on Friday 21st July. His funeral will be held this week up there on the Sunshine Coast.
__________________________
AND SORRY, YES, ONE MORE THIS WEEK

__________________________
Well, it's been a week of sad news hasn't it.
As we get older, we seem to lose more of our loved friends.
Lets look forward, and plan some fun nights out, and live our lives to the fullest.
This Saturday night should be a good one.
If we want to get live entertainment back to the Mermaid Bowls Club on Sunday afternoons we MUST support them this Saturday night, otherwise it just won't happen... We're doing our bit, but we need some more friends to join us!

PS. We went a had a look at their new sound-proofing modifications a couple of weeks ago. They've built a special sound-proofing wall where the side windows were, and also inserted a wall to close off the dance floor area from the dining area. So this will be their first test. They've prepared their neighbours.
They'd love to get the Rock n Roll crowd back here on Sunday afternoons, so if this is a success they will go ahead.
Please support them, as they went to a lot of trouble to enable this to happen.
As we don't seem to have found a big venue to be 'home' to us on a Sunday afternoon on the mid-Gold Coast, this will be perfect.

Bravo: Cruise of the Performing Arts
31st October - 7 November. 7 Nights.
NEW SOLO TRAVELLER PROMOTION
Many of you will know that our passengers on Bravo are more elderly than our traditional music charters. In addition to this we have 70-80 wheelchairs on board. Even though we never oversell the capacity of the showroom the need to get everybody seated comfortably and leave additional room for those that are mobility challenged has encouraged us to take an even more conservative view.
In this case, we will carry a few less passengers. This can be achieved by leaving some empty cabins or by carrying more singles.
To begin with, we have decided to offer the opportunity for singles to travel on sole occupancy for only 50% surcharge rather than the normal 100%.
SOLO TRAVELER PRICING:
Interior Stateroom:
Was $5228 NOW $3921
Oceanview Stateroom:
WAS $6624 NOW $4968
Balcony Stateroom
WAS $8286 NOW $6215
This will be strictly capacity controlled and will be withdrawn as soona s we have reduced the overall capacity to the desired level. This is for new bookings only and is available immediately.

GreazeFest Kustom Kulture Festival
A Message from GreazeFest Event Director, Lori Lee:
Melbourne GreazeFest 2017 - to go on hold.
Brisbane GreazeFest 2017 - to go ahead as planned.
On behalf of the Robot Productions events team, I have decided to place the Melbourne edition of GreazeFest on hold for 2017, and continue our kustom kulture festival with just the Queensland edition next year.
We are proud to have brought the kustom kulture community together in the southern states over the past three years, and we thank all of you who have taken part in these events.
GreazeFest Melbourne has showcased many talented musicians from all reaches of the world, assembled kool hot rod displays, promoted amazing kustom artists, paraded stunning pin-ups, brought you specialised markets, as well as gourmet foodies and so much more.
As much as we enjoy staging the GreazeFest in Melbourne, the difference between the Brisbane and Melbourne weather, coupled with the time and investment required to run the two events back-to-back, has been challenging.
On a personal level, the demanding workload of running both events is preventing me from hanging out with you and enjoying the many aspects of the GreazeFest and of our kulture.
Placing the Victorian event on hold for the time being will allow our team to focus on making the GreazeFest bigger and better at our new event site in Cleveland, as we approach our 18th anniversary.
We are already working on an exciting line-up for next year and we will continue our commitment to delivering you an all-killer no-filler GreazeFest in 2017.
GreazeFest Brisbane Dates - Cleveland Showground:
* Friday August 4, 2017 - Opening Night Rockabilly Party

DANCE FLOOR COURTESY
With the busier dance floors, remember to take a hand-towel with you and if you perspire a lot, to freshen yourself up with a deodorant occasionally, and men, take clean shirts and change them when you get a bit wet. It's awful dancing with someone with a wet shirt. And remember your dance-floor courtesy, if it's crowded, look around you and take diverse action to avoid a collision and apologise if you do step on someone. Ladies, if you can see that your partner is heading for a collision you can put a little pressure on his shoulder to pull him back and indicate where the danger is. And please! No drops or props on a crowded floor. It's so dangerous. And ladies, please try to avoid those pointy high heels on the dance floor. They hurt when they land on your feet and can do serious damage.
If there is a mixture of dance styles on the floor, the ballroom or circle partner dancers have the outside circle heading in an anti-clockwise direction. Rock n Roll dancing and line dancing are in the middle.
The Ten Commandments of Social Dancing (I robbed this from facebook):
1. Thou shall wear deodorant and brush thine teeth. Always. And thou shall ask thy friends whether you require more deodorant or teeth-brushing than currently.
2. If thine friend asks if they require more deodorant or breath mints, thou shall not lie.
3. Thou shall not purposely touch your partner’s bottom, breasts, or other private areas with your hands, or touch any part of their body with your tongue or mouth without their permission. If thou decides to do such things, your partner may leave your company or slap thy cheek (either one).
4. Thou shall remember that dips are not necessary in every dance or with every partner. Thou shall realize that the follow shall hold thine own weight, and that the lead shall not force thine follow into awkward and uncomfortable positions against their will.
5. Thou shall never give unsolicited advice during a social dance, under threat of social exile.
6. Thou shall recognize that dance is a journey, not a race. More patterns at fast speeds does not a great dancer make.
7. Thou shall not lift on the dancefloor. Partners are not weights, and the social floor is not a gym.
8. Thou shall respect the word and actions of ‘No’. Thou shall recognize that your partner may decline a dance, may decline a move, or may decline thine advances – and that it is thy duty to not force thy will upon them.
9. Do unto others as you would do unto yourself. Thou shall treat all dancers with respect and dignity.
10. Thou shall dance at thy level, or the level of thy partner (whichever is lower). If ye wish to to use more difficult moves, you shall seek out training. With a professional – not YouTube

CATFISH HAS RETIRED!
At 84 years old and after a lifetime of entertaining people with Catfish and The Dee Jays, Catfish has hung up the drum-sticks and called it a day. Thanks so much to Catfish for his dedication to his craft, and the many, many, good dances we've had with him and his band. I've been to his home and seen all the many posters, newspaper cut-outs, records, magazines, photos, of him during his career. He's had an amazing life, and has been lucky enough to share last part of his life with the love of his life, Kaye, who has been his helper and roadie. Happy retirement Catfish!!!
THE DEE JAYS
The band will carry on without him under the name The Dee Jays.
It's been known as that name since 1957, and Catfish has asked Peter Brown to keep it going under that name.
So Pete has taken over the band, with Ray Whyte on keyboard, Bob Hely on bass, Pete on lead guitar and the drummer will be confirmed soon. They are looking forward to seeing everyone.

"The Jive Cats" (link to their website on BANDS page)
The Jive Cats are Queensland's premier 3 piece Swing-Rockabilly-Rock'n'Roll-Jump band with a 5 piece sound, ripping out songs from the Stray Cats, Imelda May, Johnny Burnett, Ricky Nelson, Robert Gordon, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Louis Jordan, Brian Setzer Orchestra and anyone else who had a crack at rockabilly, rock'n'roll and swing.
The Jive Cats have a sensational repitoire of Swing, Rockabilly & good ol' Rock and Roll tunes and travel back to the 40's and 50's Swing era for the folks who want to Jump, Jive and Wail!
The name may be new but there's nothing new about the boys that are the Jive Cats.
With a load of R'n'R miles under their belts, the boys have just about done it all (except for becoming famous recording artists!) and are now pouring their heart and soul into their passion that is Swing & Rockabilly.
Experience the crisp clean refreshing punchy sound of the Jive Cats by grabbing them for your next
Special Event, Dance, Club, Function, Car Show, Party or for any other reason you want to have a rockin' good time!
Paul: was a founding member of "The Rockafellas" who were the busiest R'n'R band in the early
90s to the 2000's on the Gold Coast.
In 2001, Paul Joined "The Good Rockin Daddys" and remained with them until their demise in
the mid 2000s.
Paul has also been Bass player on tour for the last 2 years with the fabulous "Wickety Wak".
Wayne: is a huge fan of rockabilly guitarists including Brian Setzer, which shows in his fantastic guitar skills and fabulous vocals.
Wayne who hails from Melbourne played for a few years with "Dance On" before joining the very popular band "The Good Rockin Daddys".
Wayne still does the odd show with ”Dance On” and still has a very successful solo career.
Danny: has trampled out a well worn path during his carreer playing in bands such as The Eagles Band, Vegas Kings, Quo Vardis (Status Quo tribute) as well as The Suzie Quatro Experience.
He has now reached his pinnacle by slotting right in with The Jive Cats! As well as Dan being a fun guy, he brings a very lively tight sound that exudes pure "Danceability" .....oh... and he's pretty damn good too!

PPR Express (click here for flyer)
PPR Express are now a 4 piece band, with Pete van Roy joining as drummer and Roger Dunlop moving to the front on guitar and vocals. They are sounding better than ever, and are very entertaining. They do a great comical Kiwiana section if requested. (A Great Dance Band! Pauline)
I have just put up on U tube a snippet of our new song "Now You Shake".
It was recorded on an Iphone but it is going into the studio soon with a better video to follow.
We are hoping it will be well-received as we will include it in our gigs and shows.
I hope you enjoy it.
The song last around high 3 minutes and the riff carries through the tune.
Performed by Peter Hall on Bass, Roger Dunlop on Drums with Phil Eizenberg on lead.
This song was given to Peter by Ray Columbus (and the Invaders) when Peter was Musical Director for Ray. Pete does the song justice.
We hope it goes mildly viral. (gen Y talk)
PPR Express.
