During the Chinese New Year season Andy Young & The Silver Strings showered their music in many Chinese-styled environment before they acquired recording contracts from Philips. The Kowloon Room was one interesting restaurant where we performed.Free, fun-loving and fresh our group looked resplendent in dark suits with clasp-ties and shoes to match. Our Fender guitars, except for Ah Chew's rhythm guit, were relatively brand new and the amplifiers on stools were Gibson. Danny Boy in the corner looked set to bang the skins and clash the cymbals.
Wished the image had been in colour. Then we would have been appropriately called, "The Kowloon Silver Strings Quintet".
The little banner on the left announced, "1964". Pictures tell true tales too (click image).
