At The Esplanade With The Silver Strings: 10 Years On, In 2010. Were you there?


An old friend called and requested if I could relive the Esplanade show on the blog and Facebook. So here it is again, LIVE.
If I remember correctly it was 2010 and my third gig with the Silver Strings in the 21st Century. Aloysius Soh played lead (Locomotion),  the late Bobo on rhythm, Mochtar (Neu Faces) on drums, Jalani (an accomplished pianist) on keyboard and leader and bassist was Audie Ng. 
But it was the audience that excited all of us. Were you there in the audience? Please tell us.

One of the best pianists in Singapore, Jalani 
played in a top hotel @ the Suntec City area.

We had our concert at the Esplanade and there was a good turn-out that evening. Henry Suriya sang as guest with The Silver Strings and Brian Richmond hosted. This gig happened 10 years ago and I have posted it again to show how time slipped like grease lightning. Of course, with a little nudge from that friend.

Henry Suriya was guest singer.

    Yes indeed time passes us by like grease lightning.
    Sadly at this time was totally lost touch with the music scene and the contacts with musician friends.
    The esplanade shows must be so exciting Andy.

    Thanks Yen.
    Hopefully. If we go on stage you'll be looking at 420 years of music performers.
    Haha.

    Hi VICTOR.
    Thanks for sharing.

    We had a great team that year with JALANI keyboard, MOCHTAR drums, late BOBO singing on rhythm and ALOYSIUS lead. AUDIE leader played bass.
    Bobo, greatly missed, was a good performer and entertained the audience with his antics on stage.
