Wedding gig @ Marriott for Alywin & Charmaine

I was invited to perform by the bride Charmaine thru her mom who's a "colleague" of mine... It's always a great honour and pleasure to perform at wedding banquets...

It was a great collaboration with Peter Huang, a veteran performer in the Chinese music scene... It was my honour to perform with him...especially when he started doing his amazing beatbox...

He started out performing at Music Dreamer (爱琴海) at the same time when I started out performing at The Ark (木船).
We didn't really practice the songs together before last nite's gig, but all went well...

The many years of training we had at the Chinese music cafes, provided us the ability to adapt and perform with any musician at any time...

And thanx to Peter for providing the monitor speaker and his own mixer board on stage for the gig( something most hotel ballrooms would not be able to provide ) , thus we were able to hear ourselves well on stage...

Check out some videos taken last nite...

Our 1st song was the "national anthemn" in 民歌餐厅s.

I love performing for weddings...
Anyone needs a wedding singer?
My charges are very affordable! lol.

Jay Chou The Era 2010 World Tour

I watched the 1st show on last friday...
I still prefer the last show in 2007 actually...lol
But this one is still fantastic nonetheless... cos I watched with someone special...

I realised the acoustic guitar finger plucking solo in the his new song《免费教学录影带》was really played by himself, or at least, he really know how to do it... Amazing...

As usual, Jay will make sure his artistes get some limelight...The Drifters here...

and Cindy Yen...

A clever move by Jay!! This is the 1st time I see such a big lyrics board at the back... how to forget lyrics with it???

Say bye bye to the conventional Grand Piano... Now we have weird looking "grand pianos" in all shape and sizes... Just slot in a good 88keys digital piano and there u go....
