The Silver Strings Family have been together since last year, 2008, when Audie Ng, band leader, gathered everyone for a gig. It is a family where many ideas were discussed and tossed around. It is a family that got together for lunches, tea breaks and dinners. It is a family when we practised our songs and were waiting backstage, huddled together and supporting each other before our performance.
It is a family from different ethnic backgrounds. Gosh! Ronnie and The New Burns, Jerry Fernandez, Ms Rahimah Rahim, Karen Lim and their entourage and Ms Siao Hui from China. And including the Beatles from Europe? There were definitely more than a dozen countries that night, just backstage alone.
Our family is a very special one, a family of passionate people interested in 60s melodies and who took the effort to bring back these songs live, and made the two nights a memorable one.
