Great pictures Andy !
Wish I can be there to watch you guys.
Happy Twangin' !
Hi Andy. Thank you for creating this publicity poster for The Silver Strings. My view is that everyone in the band looks sharp indeed!
Fans of ex SBC singer Peter Chua will be in for a treat as he will be the band's guest singer! In the old days, band boys are always properly attired for a performance. The S.S. are carrying on the tradition and its great!
Many thanks again Andy! Cheers!
Thank you both for response.
Henri you could take over lead for a few instrumentals if you are here. Make it next year huh? Or anytime you're in Singapore.
John. Thanks for allowing the Silver Strings to share Peter Chua's talent. He is awesome to watch and hear. Power vocals.

If names are missed out, please excuse.
Sure all went well at the show.
Brother have a blessed day and Godbless.
(got the details from Audie this morning wasnt possible to attend).
AFTER THE SHOW:
Thank you all for the support.
The show went well but boy oh boy, it was so hot we were all so wet after the show. John was soaked, thoroughly soaked. Predicting such a calamity, he had another shirt to change into.
Thanks to MIKE BOON and DENYSE TESSENSOHN for sharing this posting on their FACEBOOK.
Hi, Andy, nice photos of The Silver Strings and yourself, too ! The band members are still very united after many decades ! Although older, they look pretty healthy and in high spirit. In my teen, I used to buy vinyl records of Shirley Nair and the Silver Strings. Those were the days in the sixties. I wish all of them in pink of health, always.
Hi FL,
It is always refreshing to hear from you as you breeze in sometimes to say hello to me and the readers.
Again my grateful thanks for your ever glowing comments about the Silver Strings. We look pretty healthy and in high spirits. But although age is only a number, it's catching up fast with all of us.
To be honest, there are only two original members left, Audie and myself but the others, Rickie, John, Nick and Michael with Peter singing sometimes, get together for the love of the music.
Don't sell away your vinyl records if you still have them. You cannot find any in the market today. They are priceless.
My best wishes to you FL, and thanks again for writing regularly on this blog.

Saw and heard the videos. Well done guys - oldies but goodies. What is interesting about live performance is - it is not played out in perfection like in a recording. Sound systems have come a long way. What is standard now would have been considered top notched 20 years ago. Cheerio guy keep on rock and rolling the good times.
The video was done with a small camera by a fan but non-professional video enthusiast Fabian Foo. We thank him for his effort and appreciate that he took the time and trouble to video-cam us in the hot morning sun.
The playing, we must admit, is not perfect and like what Michael Lee mentioned is not top notched.
Thank you Michael for comment. We will all strive to improve.
STYLO MILO BRO.
