About Silver Strings:
(From left: Nick Stravens, Andy, Audie Ng, Rickie Chng, John Cher, Michael Bangar) The Silver Strings formed in 1964 and was very popular, playing concerts and gigs at the then Odeon and Capitol Theatre, National Theatre, and Gay World Stadium. In 1965, the band played their biggest shows, opening for the Rolling Stones at the Singapore Badminton Hall and at the Miss Singapore and Miss Malaysia Universe Pageant in Kuala Lumpur with a crowd of 20,000. The band disbanded in 1971 but reunited in 2008 for a comeback concert. About The Dukes:
(From left: Peter Chua, Zainal Abidin, Paul Shankar, Aziz Hashim, Jerry Murad)
The Dukes formed in 1962 when the members were still students in Outram Secondary School. In 1963, the band started playing in the British messes and also started playing gigs at hotels and events. They disbanded 10 years later but reunited in 2014 for a charity dinner show. Come on down. It's FREE. |

Hello Andy. As always you are giving me too much credit. Your wonderful blog has always attracted folks who like the 60s scene. Anyway, I taken the liberty of posting on Facebook, the video clip of your goodself and The Silver Strings on Not The 5 Show earlier this year! Perhaps your readers would like to visit John Cher on FaceBook to see your very cool performance. All the best to you Andy!
Have a great weekend!
