Singfest 2008 - debrief pt2
August 6, 2008
Work has been hectic, so I haven’t had the time to sit down and write about Singfest. To date, it’s the best concert I’ve been to.
I’ve been listening to Jamie Scott & The Town for quite a while now, and surprisingly, he doesn’t have a huge following here in Singapore. Every time I mention his name, I get the “Who is he? What does he do?” answer. But judging by the crowd’s response on Sunday arvo, I’m sure he has scored himself a few more fans from Singapore.
I’m just so glad I got to listen to him live! … At times he sounds like a combination one of my other fav singer Ray LaMontagne and Paolo Nutini.
Nick the amazing cellist
I think the only down side was the heat! It was scorching hot, and we were all trying to keep cool with the ONE electric fan i brought. I reckon the organisers should have at least put a few industrial sized fans to cool us down. The crowd was ok, although it did get a bit rowdy when Jason Mraz came on.
Here are a couple more of my favourite photos of the night.
Panic at the Disco
One Republic
Mr A to Z
Mr Mraz, Toca and their fantastic horn section
Jason Mraz

Sorry there isn’t any pussycat dolls, rick Astley photos. I was a bit busy then.
So will i go to Singfest again? Well if the line up is going to be as good as this year, hell yeah!

Hey, i was looking around for singfest debrief and i think urs is the best. U r so lucky to meet Jason! i was there because he was performing. went to his concert 2 years ago. To me he is the best performer at Singfest(maybe bias opinion) Anyway, U r the first person that I came across in Sinagpore who also likes Nutini. Cool…. cheers….

Thinking back now, I should have jus “chiong” forward to be nearer to the satge. My group was at the slope . Most of the time we just enjoying the music. (but i went crazy when Jason came). Anyhoos, some of my singfest photos are in my face book. You can view them. Its the same email. Also, Happy National Day Singaporeans!!
