SPECIAL FEATURE
PATTI BOND
THE INSIDE STORY!!!
Patti first love of music came about because her Teacher in Fourth Grade Primary School gave her the most important job of conducting the School choir – realizing her potential in a musical life! A born control freak was discovered and although extremely shy she always pursued music with lessons in Steel Guitar and the Piano. At the age of 15 years she discovered that Singing was by far her greatest love, she had private Lessons with her Italian Teacher in the heart of Sydney (without her Parents knowledge), quietly taking her lessons for 2 years and later by well renowned Radio Vocalist Joy Kelly.
It was Joy Kelly who encouraged her at 18 years old to audition for a Musical society to help with shyness and to develop Patti’s potential. Her first Musical was the Bye Bye Birdie winning the role of Juvenile lead ‘Kim MacAfee", followed by many more including the lead in the "Boyfriend" and "Anything Goes"
Patti worked in the Pharmacy field for many years and was successful in every aspect of Beauty, Hair Care and Sales whilst maintaining her love of Musical theatre and Travelling – she left Australia in 1976 travelling to Europe, England, Scotland and Wales. Patti worked for the Boots Pharmacy for 12 months whilst in England as the Training and Development Officer in Regent Street, London which backed on to Carnaby Street where all the latest fashions were available and being the only Aussie at Boots at the time loved the comradeship with the Londoners who took a shine to her bright and friendly personality.
Once back in Australia, Patti once again was gravitated to her love of Music, singing in Restaurants, Talent Shows and finally Auditioned for the MO Award winning Show Band "Sounds" and started a professional career in the Entertainment Industry. Patti then commenced her full time Career working in the Sounds Band, Game Shows and Cabaret With her Cabaret experience she has supported many over sea’s Artists including Lucky Starr, Brain Davies, Eddie Fisher, Al Martino and Phyllis Diller etc
Meeting her husband Tony Gilbert in the ‘Sounds Band" they commenced their own Theatrical Agency-Astor Promotions employing Musicians for some of the major Clubs in Sydney, St George Leagues, Manly Leagues, Marickville RSL, Ingleburn RSL who played for world class National and International Entertainers, whilst still performing themselves. Patti took on the job as Entertainment Manager of Blacktown Workers Club followed by the Central Coast Leagues Club, successfully putting some of the most prestigious shows in Australia.
After many successful years Patti and Tony decided to work on Cruise Ships working firstly as Entertainment and Musical Director respectively and then as their own successfully International Award Winning Duo "Faithfully Yours" and their Cabaret Show "High Society". Patti & Tony have travelled to over 100 Countries with their Careers and have enjoyed International respect for their desire to always do their best and maintain their love of the Music Industry.
Patti and Tony decided to move to the Gold Coast four years ago whilst still travelling to Sydney for the first 3 years as they established their work on the Gold Coast.
Their Duo "Faithfully Yours" soon won the South East Queensland "Best Duo Award" and now works mainly on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast at all the major Venues and Clubs.
It was April 2007 that Patti took on the role of New Vogue Dance presenter.
