U3A members Alan Read (looking like Brian May, lead guitarist for Queen) and Grant Toomer (dressed as Axl Rose, lead singer for Guns 'N Roses) pose for this photo.

Both are part of the U3A OMG (Oceanside Music Group), where their performance band put on a 3-hour Rock Show at the Papamoa Retirement Village in 2021. The rest of the band members were also dressed to kill, but no photos. There are plenty of videos of the Band performing.

 

Both OMG and the performance Band brought a lot of joy to many with their upbeat and energetic public performances in 2021. OMG still has group sessions on Tuesdays except for the first Tuesday of the month at the Mount RSA, or on a couple occasions in Public parks where the passing public happily become an audience.
