The Revival Band are back again. Let's have more of them after Kallang.
60's recording stars, The Dukes, all looking smart in their fancy vests.

Jerry and The Neu Faces taking a breather during practice. It's one of the most recognised band in Singapore and current too.
The Beejays performed at the Kallang to much excitement and cheer.

A shot on stage, accompanied by a band of professionals, Andy the amateur singer. With Audie, Michael and Nick.
Rickie Chng focuses on what he has to deliver.
Andy had a forceful backing from his bandmates. He thanks them for their superb accompaniment.
The Dukes with Zainal Abidin leading the group. Cool and comfy: that's Capt. Z.
Here's Cath Wee. Her boots are made for walking and strutting the floor with The Easy Beats as she sings the Nancy Sinatra pop hit.
Red means danger, here comes the big man, Jerry Fernandez leading the Kallang pack that night with his powerhouse singing.
Jerry's band for many years, The Neu Faces provided the oomph for the festival. Closing number for this Christmas Festival, Feliz Navidad.
The Beejays have always been in the limelight, with their fab sound and stage performances.
From the Easybeats, this lady in red named Jessica Koo, sultry and smooth, lighted up the stage that evening.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the New Year greetings, and also a very Happy New Year 2018 to you too. The photos of the show were great and it looked like a very good night indeed. You covered all the artistes, while the hall and audience looked great in colour. So Audie has a Beatle bass now and he really looks occupied and having a ball playing it. Good to see the other bands also being part of the festive show and I must say well done to all of you.
Once again thanks.
Mike

RnR alive and well in Singapore. as our own Neil Young says, "hey hey rock n roll will never die !"(btw, Neil was born in Saskatchewan where i played my first pro gig with a band called Winterfield the first month i arrived). and while still speaking of RnR, Matt Tan has been "discovered & re-defined" as Experimental Rock Music Creator by the esteemed Emerging Indie Bands. https://emergingindiebands.com/matt-tan-attack-of-venus-nympho-audio/

The Dog is going to be a good year for EXPERIMENTALism , huh?

John Cher, great performance from you and your golden oldies, the Silver Strings. And Andy Young, you sang wonderfully! Bravo! Have a Blessed Christmas!
Congratulations John Cher, Andy Young, Audie Ng & the rest of the guys at the Kallang Theatre: Well done.!!! From: Michael Goh or Gold. Merry Christmas.
Must get Mediacorp to produce another Rolling Good Times leh!
Probably I will write in to their feedback column...
Mediacorp programmes are so stereo-typed n boring...high time they produce some good musicals for the seniors to enjoy!
