at Actors' Studio Theatre, Lot 10 Shopping Centre, corner of
Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Sultan Ismail
8.30 pm. Featuring Janet Lee, Ariff Akhir, Malik Taufiq, Markiza & Peter Brown.
This was something
different to remind us of our pub singing days - covers galore by four
different artists all on stage with their back-up singers and musicians
(except for us and Ariff) Janet sang a lovely version of Man in the Mirror with choral
backing, and Malik was really good too with the Cranberries covers. Ariff
did Wonderwall and that
sent the audience up to the ceiling. We did Big Yellow Taxi, and Fleetwood
Mac's Don't Stop, and
everyone including the performers enjoyed it immensely. And Brandon took the pics (see
facebook for more pics)

of Brandon Lim - note wonderful quality of the photo - thanks

WORLD
REFUGEE DAY 2010
COMMEMORATIVE
EVENT
Saturday
19 and Sunday 20 June, 10 am to 9 pm
KL Sentral Station, main foyer
(facing the
hotels)
open to the
general public
Exhibition
on
refugee issues for awareness raising, refugee bazaar and cultural
display from the refugee communities, performances by refugees from
Myanmar, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Sri Lanka, traditional games
from the refugee communities. Performances by
Malaysian
Celebrities supporting the refugee
cause.
Markiza and Peter
Hassan will be
performing Saturday & Sunday 19th &
20th June about 10.00 am
This World Refugee Day, Walk a
Mile in a Refugee's Shoes What's it like to be a refugee?
To witness your family torn apart by war and conflict? To lose
everything you value - family, friends, your home - and be forced to flee in
order to save your life? To travel hundreds of miles, on foot
through dense jungles and in leaking boats across dangerous seas?
This is a journey made by
millions of refugees as they flee war, conflict, human rights abuses and
persecution. People often misunderstand who a refugee is,
thinking that they are migrants looking for economic opportunities. The
truth is refugees have no choice but to run, and are unable to return
home safely.
In Malaysia, as of June 2010,
there are some 88,100 refugees and asylum-seekers registered with
the UN Refugee Agency. The majority of them from Myanmar, but many also
from other countries around the world including Sri Lanka, Somalia,
Iraq and Afghanistan.
Their journey, and the journey
made by millions of other refugees worldwide, is one that is hard
for us to imagine. What we know is that in the wake of having lost
everything, refugees have an incredible courage and perseverance to
remain steadfast and positive in their will to survive. But they need our
compassion and understanding and a humanitarian space to be able to
rebuild their lives in safety
anddignity.
20 June is World Refugee Day. It
is a salute to the indomitable spirit and courage of the world’s
refugees. World Refugee Day 2010 puts a human face to the refugee issue,
that behind the numbers and statistics are real people with real stories
and real dreams and desires for a
life of safety.
What's it like to be a refugee?
Walk a mile in a refugee's shoes and experience the lives of refugees
at the World Refugee Day celebration at the KL Sentral Station on 19 and
20 June 2010 from 10.00am till 4.00pm, organised by the UN Refugee
Agency (UNHCR).
Visitors will get a chance to
experience the journey a refugee makes, and to see what it's like to live
as a refugee in Malaysia. Enjoy a refugee bazaar, refugee
performances, meet celebrities, win exclusive UNHCR merchandise and more. Free
admission.
Visit www.unhcr.org.my
or call 03 2141 1322 for more information.

Peter
Brown makes a fool of himself
Peter
Brown aka Hassan Peter Brown will make a
fool of himself in public on
Friday 23rd April at 8.00 pm at the
Lepaq Restaurant, Kelana Mall -
behind the Giant Giant supermarket in section SS6, Kelana Jaya which is
off the highway there (beyond Kelana Jaya LRT station). That is,
he is entering the competition called BATTLE OF THE ACOUSTICS,
along with several other bands and acoustic artists. He will be
performing 2 songs completely on his own without the musical assistance
of his wife Markiza (foolhardiness in the extreme!) - in fact with just
his guitar and harmonica and voice, without
assistance of any kind. This might be because he is getting
old and a bit soft in the head, but if you would like to be witness to
this bizarre experience, it is totally free. The restaurant has a
good sound system and there will be plenty of music in different styles
courtesy of all the competitors. The restaurant serves food and
soft drinks, but no alcohol, so hope you enjoy the evening.
Incidentally there is LIVE MUSIC every night of the
week at Lepaq except Sundays when they are closed.
Otherwise if you feel this is too
risque, there
is another gig called Rocking for the Environment on
the same night (Friday 23rd April) at Little
Havana, Changkat Raja Chulan, KL featuring BenchMarx,
Kyoto Protocol, and the redoubtable Reza
Salleh. But this one will cost you RM30 BUCKS!!
But don't worry, it's for CHARITY to save the DUGONG
otherwise known as the Sea Cow which like so many of the wonderful
species of the EARTH is close to extinction thanks to man and his
relentless and ineluctable activities. Also the bands are
good. Kyoto Protocol was runner-up in the
Global Battle of ther Bands contest late last year, Reza Salleh is
one of Malaysia's finest singer-songwriters and BenchMarx - well you
have to experience these well-seasoned fellas. Start time 8.00
pm. For further info visit the event on Facebook.
