BUsy with music Part 2
Back from Lang Tengah last week.....now recovered from "black skin syndrome".
Over the last week, i was pretty busy with music again. This time i was involved in an Irish Band called "The Red Dot Ceili Band". SOunds like Red HOT Chilli Pepper huh..haha. Okay, the band is named by our member/leader XH, he explained that "Ceili" means a band that plays traditional irish dance music for ppl to dance around, so therefore called ceili band. [It is pronounced as Kay-Ly] As for why is it called Red Dot, he said that most of the Ceili Band is called by region of the place they come from, and this is a Singapore Ceili band, so he thought of The red dot....hehe..well....quite a cute name. Our band members are XH, Boon and me.
Last Saturday, we went to East Point Mall at Simei to perform, a part of Singapore Arts Festival program. The performance was quite good except that the sound system not very well done and the place is echo-e. The audience responce not very good though, only a few passer-by stop and watch us, and some autie uncle staring at us and some small kid dancing/jumping around.
After the perfoamance, Boon and XH suggested we go to city hall and approach some of the Irish pub for gigs. They said sunday lunch time should be a good time to perform because many Irish ppl will come to have lunch there. We had our dinner at Seah Street Deli, a western restaurant that serves BIG sandwiches! I recommend to go there if you thinking to have some nice BIG Sandwiches.
After dinner, we went to Chijmes, they know some of the manager there and wanted to try to perform straight. However, that day there was soccer game so everyone busy watching soccer, won't one us to perform, later they think we disturbing. Well, next time la. Hope to get some regular gig and therefore regular pocket money!! hee
This coming saturday will be at Plaza Singapore, hopefully the crowd is better there. Pls come and support us if you happen to be there. This saturday 10th June at Atrium@ Orchard (outside Plaza Singapore) 2:30pm.
