Some time back on a lazy Sunday afternoon (23 Jan), I attended a music showcase by a blogger friend, Mint Leong, together with her Mint Band at All About Eve bar at 45 Haji Lane.

I got to know Mint through various bloggers’ events. Mint is a very friendly person, passionate about her music and always jovial.

I find it amazing that she managed to pull together an event like this, purely out of passion, relying on the love and support of her surrounding friends.

You can read Mint’s blog post about the showcase pre-production to find out how much love and effort has been put into the project.

Below are some photos I took at the event:

About the showcase:

让我依靠(Rang Wo Yi Kao) refers to ‘Show me your support’ in English. The title of this showcase is derived from one of Mint’s song, 依靠(Yi Kao) which literally means ‘Support’.

The showcase comprises of 10 mandarin songs written and composed by Mint Leong, performed and sang to the public for the very first time. Out of these 10, 2 of the songs were composed with the help of Mint’s good friends: Goh Yong Wei (我的便当 aka Lunchbox) & Angela Lee ( 泪不停不停的流 ); Master Music producer: Won Tin Loong, the boss of All About Eve Bar; Other music producers: Mint Band
