Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a good one, and here's to 2010!

The usual crush of backed up work is probably getting to all of you as much as me, so let's start the year off with a short speed read (Jan 4 - Jan 10):

• Monday: Robbin Harris' Viking Monday brings experimental contemporary jazz (9:30PM)
• Tuesday: Open Mic gets under way for a new season ahead of the upcoming rule change (9:30PM)

One more big one to go!

Greetings Hong Kong Holiday Musickrati!

With plenty of trouble about Alpha Centauri lately.

My flag boy told your flag boy "I'm gonna set your flag on fire!"

For the book of the year of 2009, there is little left to write. Looking to the end in phoenix like style now, in the manner of speeches for the soon to be reborn phœnix, let me be brief ;) (Dec 14 - Dec 20):

• Monday: Viking Mondays lead by Robbin Harris brings experimental jazz (9:30PM)

The Son Gonna Rise in a Mile.

Last week kept Rob, Joyce and I hopping from one gig to the next, but the excellent performances put in by the performers and seeing the music going public turn out for the occasions served as a regular reminder for why we bother to do it; at the risk of redundant recollection from newsletters long past, thank (all of) you. For the trouble, here's a few new acts for you to peruse for the week (Dec 7 - Dec 13):

Filmography waxes cinematic with Scriptographiles.

Greetings to the live music going public of the Fragrant Harbor!

Twenty thousand five hundred.

We jazzed. We fested. And many of you dropped by to remind us as to why we do it.

What's up Fresco fans?

We've talked about it, and now we've really gone and done it. This week at Fresco, we'll be hosting back to back gigs of the best live music in Hong Kong for 8 days in a row, running the gamut of soul, jazz, R&B, Latin, with locally renowned and world renowned performers, until your needs are filled...

... at least for now ;)

Lyrical challenge to stumble upon!

Greetings Musickirati.

This week has something new in the work for Wednesday with a Pop Jam night, Japanese band Lo Fi, and a special birthday for a musical great. I've written Fresco's second shot in two years of a lyrical challenge for the trivia this week... Give it a go for the usual award of a standard drink if you take the top 3 spots; with the recent break in questions, everyone happens to be eligible this week.
