Singlish – Thursday, September 25th from 8pm to 9:30pm September 20, 2008
Posted by Nik in : Events , add a commentSinging is good for the soul! Enjoy a couple of hours of vocalizing with friends accompanied by Stefan Bogdanov on guitar. Stefan provides the lyrics of some old pop favorites and everyone sings along. It’s easy and it’s fun! This is also a nonsmoking event to keep those vocal cords fine tuned! Drop in anytime, it’s free!
