Agreed with Mel Sir writing, the music quality last night was good esp the champion "Fat Girl", she really makes me mad!!!

The performance of Band Natural and Henry & Richard are also "Thumb Up"!!

Cheers,
Frankie(Capo)

昨晚的水準真的很高, 非常精彩的一個音樂活動.

很高興香港仍然有這麼多的業餘音樂愛好者, 很用心的玩一些非商業性的音樂.

冠軍的一男一女組合Joves, 女主音唱得好, 結他彈得好, 歌作得好, 彈Bass 的也很精彩, 技驚四座, 是冠軍的必然之選.

亞軍的四人組合D'Hat, 玩了一首Latin style的自作歌, 風格很討好, 主音唱得好, 樂器彈得好. 我覺得是除冠軍那隊之後最好的一隊. 不過主音結他solo時音量略細.

季軍的五人組合Renfrew group, 也很有特色, 玩節奏的朋友為樂隊加分不少, 男主音聲也很好. 入圍也是意料之內.

我們的朋友Band Natural, 水準也很高, 相信應是五名之內.

很好看的一個決賽.

正如Mel Sir、Frankie和阿Sum所說，昨晚有多隊參賽隊伍的演出水準是十分之高，而獲獎的組合確是實至名歸！

香港原來仍然有很多有水準的音樂愛好者，昨晚大部份都是原創歌曲，其中不乏上佳作品，各有不同風格，不同題材，百花齊放！

而大家認識的Henry & Richard及Band Natural的演出十分之精彩，個人很喜歡Band Natural所創作的藍天空，歌曲旋律優美，歌詞內容是描寫環保及反戰信息，十分有意思，希望他們繼續努力和加油！

Frankie, the girl who made you mad is called Jovelyn. Just found that she is actually a very experienced singer. You can see her bio below.

Their winning song is available for download at :

From : http://www.jovelynfuego.com/Bio.htm
NAME: Joves, also known as Jovelyn Fuego
BIRTHDATE: 17th January (Year of the Snake)
BIRTHPLACE: Davao City, Philippines
HOME: Hong Kong, China S.A.R.
Joves is a singer/songwriter of English songs that are a mix of jazz/bossa nova/contemporary pop/rock.
Current Inspirations: Rufus Wainwright and rain
When she was four, her Filipino parents moved from the Philippines to Hong Kong, where she and her siblings, 2 brothers and a sister, grew up and learned to speak fluent Cantonese, in a city they call home.
Her father, Johnny Fuego, was a brilliant and well-respected Jazz pianist during the 70's and 80's in Hong Kong. In 2001, he died of lung cancer at the age of sixty-one. Her mother, Vilma, was a singer on the radio in southern Philippines, in the late 50's.
At the age of eleven, Joves was caught, by her father, trying to sneak out of the house to audition in a local talent contest. After much wailing and crying, he personally took her to the audition and even played her audition song on the piano. She impressed the judges enough to get into the semi-finals. Her father continued to support her by taking her to nightclubs and venues to rehearse. However, on the day of the semi-finals, she choked and didn't get through to the finals. Unperturbed, she decided to try her hand at playing the guitar, but the process only led to her abandoning all hope of ever becoming a musician.
Many years later, her father's death forced her to reflect on her lost goals and reminded her that there was more to life than simply paying the bills. She picked up the guitar again in August 2003, quit her job, and obsessively played 10-18 hours a day for eight months, which culminated in the creation of some unique acoustic originals, that are a fusion of jazz, bossa nova, contemporary and alternative pop, rock, & folk.
She recently formed her own band and played together with bass/guitar player Chris Collins (Beats Working) & drummer Lego Shum (from Helter Skelter) at a Benefit Gig and have since played at the Rockit 2006 Music Festival in Hong Kong Victoria Park, with percussionist Barney Bruce. Her most recent show was at "Edge" for Underground 38! with Mike Salcedo on drums (from Shepherds the Weak) and Chris Collins on bass, with special guest Joseph Fuego on the trombone.
She's currently recording her first album in the studio which should be released in July 2007.
