SINGAPORE: Singer Rick Astley will be among a host of both local and international artistes who will be performing on the new Rollin’ Good Times, a reboot of the popular 1990's Singaporean music variety show.
Apart from recording the first episode, alongside local band The Silver Strings and singer Wendi Koh, Astley is also in Singapore to perform on the first of a two-part special of The 5 Show on Tuesday (May 5), which aims to raise funds to help those affected by the recent deadly earthquake in Nepal.

When my grand children heard Rick Astley is singing they want to go...
ReplyDeleteThey love his song NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP. Autograph time? But the kids are only 9 and 7 years. How'd they know about him?
Rick Astley! So 80s.

ReplyDeleteVery nice Andy. So many adventures, am envious.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Who's your cameraman?

Silver Strings still going strong Andy
ReplyDeleteThanks again Hock for your constant support. The strong man is Audie Ng band leader, and enjoying the camaraderie with the Silver Strings members.
ReplyDeleteThanks to John Cher for taking the shot with Rick Astley beside me. A quick one that was.
Apologies to MALVIN for spelling out his name with an E. The computer changes names quicker than the fingers.
Hi Andy. Your passion for the local music scene is inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWithout someone like you, in a few short years to come, everything would have been just memories. You have put faces behind names and many people get to enjoy our music heritage. In the years to come, much of your research and efforts would be entrenched into Singapore's music history. And thats a lot to acheive for an amateur historian.
All the best to you Andy. And whatever you do, dont let your enthusiasm for local music and local musicianship fizzle off! We are counting on you brother!
God bless!
John
Thank you John. Inspiring words.
ReplyDeleteWow Mr Andy Young!! My father is actually 1 year older than you.
ReplyDeleteI missed the part where you sang, I'll watch on catchup tv tomorrow. But I saw you at the end. Did you get Rick Astley's autograph.
ReplyDeleteANDY!!!!!! Didn't know you were an artist too!! Vocalist for Silver Strings! Wow!! You sang well, very well indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wow! Wow! Didn't know you can croon and swoon so well. Could see our contemporaries in the audience enjoying.
ReplyDeleteSteady man... you still have it at 75.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Andrew. You look good for a 75 young singer. To be sure you had great fun.
ReplyDeleteYou bring back nostalgia and relief to Seniors with your song DIANA. We feel positive all over again. Thank you.

RGT VIDEO was on Toggle for a few days but could not be found afterwards. Perhaps a call to the station would be a good idea? Because it's so popular maybe they're thinking of a re-run on national TV soon?
