Singfest 2008 – debrief pt2
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

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!
Ahem…little applause for me for introducing you to Jamie Scott’s music. For ONCE, I discovered someone before you!
jiejie: yes definately… so who’s the next big thing! who’s next on your list!
p.s. i miss you at home.
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….

Sul: wasn’t much of a debrief though. i don’t like lengthy posts
a picture says a thousand words. you like nutini too! way cool 
now i wouldn’t mind going to see him too!
I love paolo too! (: And these pictures are wonderful. But the one with you and the stars beats the ones up here really. Lucky you! But being able to see them LIVE is already an honour for me cos i nearly didnt get the tixs cos they were all sold out and i was lucky to have found a seller on net
roslina: glad you managed to find a ticket! I’m sure it was worth every penny!

Whoa, you’re so lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think our tastes in music’re pretty much the same, cos i’ve been sorta following your playlist
My personal fave’s Death Cab for Cuties. Thumbs up!!!
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!!
