Together with my student Trinity, we will be supporting and singing for Pinoy Beatles, the Reo Brothers of the Philippines. They will be having a concert on the 22nd March 2015, 3:30pm Sunday at Entertainment Dome, Burwood RSL Club. Supporting this charity concert are Brian Lorenz, Tina Bangel & One Voice and Alwyn de los Santos! My fellow coasties let me know how many tickets you are after.
I love a concert for a cause.
Below is a short story about Reo Brothers.
The brothers are part of the Otic family, originally based in Tacloban, one of the places worst hit by supertyphoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in November 2013.
The family survived, but lost everything they owned which forced them to become homeless and penniless. They eventually managed to contact relatives in the Manila, and decided to make a move to the capital for a fresh start.
In order to make a living and forge a career in music, the four brothers in the band, which they started as a hobby in 2009, found the courage to contact a well-connected man who saw them in Tacloban previously and offered his help.
Since then, the group appeared in numerous TV shows including Rated K on ABS-CBN in the Philippines, and even The Dr Oz Show in the US. They have also performed on various concerts around the world, including Tokyo, California, New York and United Kingdom.
