Two years have gone by since our first public performance "Silver Screen Classics" at the Esplanade Concourse in July 07. While it is certainly nostalgic being invited back to the Esplanade Concourse again this year, it has also given us a chance to look back on how far we have progressed as a quartet. We would not have imagined ourselves being capable of performing 3 consecutive sets of performances in one night back then, which was what we did this time at the concourse!

After our publicity and marketing materials were sent out via facebook and online portals, it was to our immense delight when we got an email from our friends at Tango Singapore asking if it was possible for their dancers to dance to our performance. Of course we were more than happy to oblige, and after getting the go-ahead from Esplanade, we had lots of fun livening up the atmosphere with our music as well as dancers. There were people who actually came up to us and congratulated us for having professional dancers for our show! Thank you to our friends from TangoSingapore for your support!

Again, our most heartfelt thanks to the Esplanade for inviting us to perform at such a wonderful venue, Xianghui for coordinating the event, the Esplanade crew for the lighting and sound, Yili for the videocamera at such short notice, and all our friends and family for being there for us. Credits again to Adrian Tan and Emma for the awesome photos.

Videos of the performances will be up soon.
