Caroling @ Grand Park Hotel

Date of Performance(s): 23rd and 24th December 2005

Sounds Easy was engaged by Grand Park Hotel (Orchard) to bring yuletide cheer to the hotel's Christmassy atmosphere. We were invited to performed for two evenings.

Donned in black during the first day, Sounds Easy performed at the central hall of the hotel, near the lift lobby. Acoustical conditions were trying, but we were able to hear ourselves and deliver our 45 minute repertoire. Some guests who were dining in the restaurant above, occasionally stepped out and listen to us. On the second day, we were moved to the hotel's mini stage, and for 45 minutes, we sang and entertained guests who were enjoying their Christmas eve dinner downstage. This time dressed in formal gear (ladies in white, while men in coat suits), Sounds Easy presented yet another well-received performance.

We would like to express our gratitude to the management of Grand Park Hotel for inviting us, and we look forward to future collaborations.

Caroling @ Raffles City

Date of Performance(s): 22nd December 2005

By the kind engagement of Bread Alone Consultancy, Sounds Easy was invited to sing in Raffles City, one of Singapore's busiest shopping places. The performance took place on the stage in the central atrium of the city, and we presented a 30-minute performance of carolling pieces. The central part of Raffles City is very spacious, so acoustically, it was challenging for a small ensemble of 20 singers. Nonetheless, Sounds Easy took the challenge in our strides, and tried our best to project our voices to the wide hall. Feedback of our performance was positive, and we thank the enthusiastic audience for taking time out from their precious shopping time to watch us.

Caroling @ One Fullerton

Date of Performance(s): 16th and 17th December 2005

Thanks to our dear friend, JF, Sounds Easy got an opportunity to perform at One Fullerton, one of Singapore's top dining and clubbing spots. At the request of the management of One Fullerton, Sounds Easy presented a 30 minute repertoire for each performance. We sang at the central foyer, and our a cappella music was accompanied by the windy breeze from the Marina Bay. Our easy sounds attracted many passer-bys, some of whom stopped by for a while to listen to us. Some children even danced along with the familiar carols such as "Jingle Bells" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". The warm applause from the appreciative crowd made these evenings very memorable for Sounds Easy.

Caroling @ Pioneer Zone 12 RC

Date of Performance(s): 16th December 2005

We were invited by the management of the Pioneer Zone 12 Residence Council to present a 30 minute performance for residents staying in this area. Performance took place in a multi-purpose area for residents, and we were "warmed up" very quickly, as it was very hot. The crowd was surprisingly receptive, gave generous applause, participated in singing ALOUD with us, and even danced along with our tunes :). People were considerate enough to lower their conversation volumes, knowing that it is strenuous for the performers to reach out to so many people. It's been a while since Sounds Easy sang for a heartland crowd, and we appreciate this performance opportunity.

Fred & Lay Fang Wedding Dinner

Date of Performance(s): 29th January 2005

Tonight, Sounds Easy celebrated the union of Fred & Lay Fang, brother and sister-in-law of Silin,one of our singers, in the ballroom of Four Seasons Hotel. The couple had requested us to perform their favourite love songs, and that they would like a mix of a cappella and accompanied performances. Rehearsals and programme planning took place seven months before the wedding.

The wedding performance was divided into two sections. For the cocktail, Sounds Easy sang mainly a cappella arrangements of doo-wop pieces and familiar favourites, and this included"In the Still of the Night", "It's Alright", "Stand By Me", "Kokomo", "我愿意"(orignally sung by Faye Wong). For the banquet, Sounds Easy was accompanied by a live jam band, and we sang "Fly Me to the Moon", "Blue Moon"and "Hooked on a Feeling". There were some choreography involved in the banquet performance, to add colour and vibrance to the joyous atmosphere.

Sounds Easy is very honoured to have the pleasure to present songs from Fred's and Lay Fang's hearts, and we thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We would like to wish Fred and Lay Fang a blissful and everlasting marriage.
