The Wynners

First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. A bit late cause I forgot to post. :P
Anyway, it's now the year 2008! And we once again witness another passing of a year. Farewell year 2007.. *Sniff*

Okay, cut the crap.

Have any of you people heard of The Wynners? I betcha never had cause it's a really old band.
The Wynners consists of 5 members: Alan Tam (vocals), Kenny Bee (vocals), Bennett Pang (guitar), Danny Yip (bass guitar) and Anthony Chan (drums).
And I tell you, they are awesome!

They started out singing English songs from the Beatles, then to singing Cantonese pop songs.

They acted in a movie together that was called 大家乐 or Let's Rock. It was their first movie together.

In 1978, all five band members went separate ways to develop their solo careers. Alan Tam and Kenny Bee became two of the most popular stars in Hong Kong in the 1980s. While the other three went to do some business and stuff. So those three weren't that active and therefore weren't that well known.
However, on the 31st of December 2007 (yesterday). They held a New Year Countdown Concert at Stadium Merdeka. The concert was their first concert together in almost 30 years. And it was planned to be the last concert they will have together as they planned to dismiss the band after it.

As I have went so deep in explaining their brief history to you guys, the real reason is that I was at the concert, and I witnessed it all.
Their singing was awesome; The guitarist, Bennett Pang, was so damn good; The drums were rocking, it was awesome. Simply awesome. Not to mention, they got a good sense of humor. XD

I really don't regret going to that concert. On top of that, I had V.I.P tickets. :P So it basically rocked for me. Though the 'dismissal' was a bummer. But still, they rock!

Keep on rocking!!
