The Fritz Quartet with Patrizio Buanne

21st December 2006
We were delighted when Alan from Universal Music Pte Ltd (Singapore), contacted Fritz Quartet to perform for Patrizio Buanne 's private showcase in Singapore. The event was held at Movida, St James Powerhouse and hosted by Gold 90FM.
We reached Movida at around 2pm for a rehearsal with Patrizio. It was actually quite surreal stepping into a nightspot in bright daylight! Patrizio arrived shortly after and we had a productive rehearsal. It was great fun working with him! After an hour, he had to rush off for press interviews. Meanwhile, we had 4 hours to kill before it was time to take the stage.

When we were walking back from dinner at Vivo City, we saw a really large crowd gathering outside the club. They were all there for Patrizio! It was quite amazing to see people from all ages clamouring to get a good view of the stage.

A really huge picture of Patrizio

So many people!


When Patrizio appeared on stage, we couldn't really hear ourselves because of all the screaming fans!

We played through the set, about 6 songs in all, and the night ended with us boogie-ing away with Patrizio on stage. Well, it was certainly a night to remember for the Fritz Quartet, and we are sure the many screaming fans can attest to that as well!


Special thanks to Alan Tang from Universal Music Pte Ltd Singapore for sending us the scores in advance and for being such a great guy to work with :)
