BALLET REVOLUCION....

I've been lucky enough to see some incredible artists here and some fantastic shows at the theatre and the latest one, Ballet Revolucion, certainly did not disappoint. Thanks to Victoria for booking us some tickets last minute on Saturday I spent two hours with my jaw and eyes wide open memorised by the perfomrance! "Straight from the heart of Cuba, the undisputed home of dance, Ballet Revolucion is an energetic fusion of ballet, contemporary dance and modern hip hop. It is a raw fresh and dynamic Cuban cocktail of unbridled passion, pure energy and athletic skill. Together with the accompaniment of a live All Star Cuban Band that plays hits from Shakira, Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Chris Brown, Beyonce and Usher to tantalise your senses."

I would really recommend getting your hands on tickets to this show! Unfortunately it has come to a close in Singapore but I have just seen on the website that they are traveling to London. If you can't make it to the show here is a short trailer to give you a little taster of what it was like... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3U2oVjpizA&feature=related This however doesn't come close to the sensation of being in the audience and watching these incredible athletes perform right in front of your eyes.

SCISSOR SISTERS...

This Monday we were lucky enough to get hold of some free Scissor Sisters tickets for their gig at Fort Canning Park. I've always enjoyed their music, more the early stuff compared to the more recent. Although the gig started at 8pm we had to wait until 9.40pm before they came on stage ... the reason for being late revealed as "Bali Belly" from their previous concert. But, this didn't really show as they gave the concert their all and performed a collection of and new and old songs. 


Lead singers Jake Shears and Ana Matronic along with Babydaddy, Del Marquis and Randy Real were absolutely brilliant. Hits included "Laura", "Take Your Mama", "Filthy/Gorgeous" and of course my ultimate favourite "I Don't Feel Like Dancin". A great gig to gig start the year. Just a shame I wasn't able to take my own pictures.

ALL ABOARD THE HOLMES & MARCHANT PIRATE PARTY BOAT...


This year's Holmes & Marchant Christmas party was held on a boat sailing around the south islands of Singapore. The theme ... pirates! Not a bad effort for last minute organisation. What more did we need...a boat, canoes, alcohol, a BBQ and 23 pirates! Our Holmes & Marchant parties/holidays are seem to be going down in history. I'm very much looking forward to the next one!
