Great to know you've enjoyed such a fabulous holiday, Alan ... most especially realising your ambition to meet up with Aegis Band and be part of their class act!
Ahaaaa...pictures!! pictures!!! from a celebrity doctor
But since then one of my ambitions was finally realised - to meet the managers then all the members of Aegis Band before and after their concert, + being "persuaded" to sing two numbers (Bakit and Basang Basa sa ulan) with Juliet (lead singer)
Much more news when I'm home!
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
Aegis are great! Hope you enjoyed them!Hi everyone, after 32 years I have returned !
Already "done" Roxas Boulevard, Manila Bay at sunset, Jeepney rides, "Divisoria" + other malls, election rallies + free t shirts (not to be worn here!), swimming in a public pool, and tomorrow night an Aegis Band Concert in Quezon City
After THE election (Philippines 10 May !) leaving Manila for Cebu and Bohol
I may be travelling alone ... but with trusted forum friends as contacts, so much to do, + beautiful scenery (friendly as well
Now for some health advice ...oops, sorry no time!
Ingats friends !
Their local patch is a club (I think they own shares in it) called 21st Street in Las Pinas, saw them there a couple of times and they were good gigs.
You must have arriver just after I left, I was sad I missed the elections
I did, met them all and sang with them at concert in Zirkoh, Greenhills, San Juan, on 20 May
They were first known as AG's Sound Trippers, from their manager's company (using the names Abenoja-Galindo). That name was thought to be too long, so they opted for AG's ,then AEGIS. The literary meaning of Aegis is Shield or Protection. They decided to adapt this word as the name of their band because it expresses what they want to share to their listeners, to feel, when they listen to their songs, shielded and protected from being lonely.
Celso Abenojo in fact wrote all their famous songs over 20 years ago.
So now you know !
I may be one of their few British fans, even the oldest
But they helped make my holiday of a lifetime ! Can't wait to return, this time I will know the words of their songs when I'm hauled up on stage
