The big eat at an Indian Restaurant where we bare 
our teeth with mutton, prawns and nasi beryani.

I organised this group of students from NUS when we met
 for an interview and discussion about 60s pop music. 
From left: Andy, Hafizah, Deborah, Clifford, 
Jerry Fernandez, Michael Bangar and Winston Koh. 

With Michael Bangar, his wife Jenny and La Salle student,

was accorded exhibition status at in New York.

Clarence Perera plays with style and panache 
during his performance at RELC in November 2019.
He has been sending daily prayers on WhatsApp
for many years now...

The Teepees made a fantastic appearance at the Pek Kio
 Community Club  to resounding applause that brought 
the house down with their rendition of dance music 
and hot pop. They were a hit girl band in the 70's.

 
With Johnny Yeow (Silver Strings lead guitar), 
Winston Koh (sings Cliff Richard) and

Good Friend Winston Koh, who sings like Cliff Richard 
 and no one knows the difference on record. He's good.

In Brisbane, Australia at 'Bee Gees Way'. 
The Aussie shop keepers were so relaxed, they sold 
Beatles gifts rather than Bee Gees souvenirs, "G'dai mait."
