    Who was that Cat Lingered Longa

    The Hall was thumping when we arrived (as per usual a little late) & there was plenty of action, approx 250 is my guess, filled the Yarrawonga town hall and there was plenty of rockin' going on."Who was that Cat" had that sound pumping which just makes your feet need to DANCE, the floor was packed with rockers with that same old feeling Dance dance dance.

    The streets of Yarrawonga echoed to the sounds of the double base, and the fantastic music from the 50s, Bill Haley although not in person, came alive last night, the rockers loved it, I don't think that hall has seen so much action for many years, & It's probably still trembling & vibrating down to the foundations.

    The floor was totally jamb packed all night. It was a Rockin' good time well & truly worth the effort of a long drive & a small price to pay, for some of that calorie consuming exercise.

    Rockers from Bendigo Shep Albury Cobram Wang Benalla Melb & a notable icon of rock'n'roll "Little Maria" to name a few, converged on Yarrawonga for the inaugural "Linga Longer's" First Dance & what a Dance complete with all the trimmings, right out of the Fifties.

    Like days of the 50s the supper or should I say feast, (some ladies had been very busy), was exceptional, the food might I say was extravagant. My Chick & I missed out on dinner so the supper was a god send.

    I am sure everybody had a rockin" good time I know we did, thanks to Linga Longer Rockers, hope the hall survives! a Special thanks to "Who was that Cat" & "Bill" he was Great. Now to the caterers the supper or should I say buffet was fan-B****Y- tastic, sorry we couldn't eat it all.

    Thanks gjo267.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the night and arrived back in Melbourne safe, sound and somewhat bleary-eyed! It was fantastic to see some many RnR groups join in to celebrate the first of what I hope will be many Linga Longa Rockers dances.

    Bless y'all

    Thanks for the rap, we're glad you had a great time. It was a privilege to be asked to be the first, of what I think will be many bands that get to play for "Linga Longer Rockers". They are a great bunch of people who love their dancing, and they made us feel so welcome. It was the sort of dance you WANT to attend. The venue was GRAND to say the least, and the sound was just devine. We had a blast doing our "Bill Haley" tribute & I thought our front man Dave did a great job of being "BILL" for the night!
    To all our new friends we made on the night we would like to say "thanks" for your support & kind words, & we look forward to when next we meet!

    I was able to take a few pics on the night, not as many as I sometimes get to but I will get them on our web site www.whowasthatcat.net a.s.a.p, just go to the pictures page.

    Cool Re: Who was that Cat Lingered Longa

    Thanks to everyone that attended our first dance, we did have a fantastic time and very impressed with WHO WAS THAT CAT. Every club member of Linga Longa Rockers put in an awesome effort. The workshop was great thanks to Alan Limerick and Evone Fry... Hopefully we will be able to do this all again THANKS ALL
