Song and dance to help the needy

Here’s news of a great evening for music lovers who are looking for just the right kind of relaxation sprinkled with entertainment that combines two popular concepts.

Annesley Malawana

Vijeya Corea

Nalin and the Star Combinations

For those who enjoy those golden oldies plus the evergreen hits of yesteryear, this will be an opportunity to hear them and sing along to them. For those who love the beat, lilt, rhythm and are infected by it in a manner that makes them itch to dance be ready to be invited to the tempting music by the bands.

The date to mark in your diary is May 18, 7.30 pm to be seated at the Galadari Hotel Grand Ballroom. The two in one package, which mainly comprises a “Sing-A-Long” and winds up with music for dancing, is tipped to go on record as an evening that will be long remembered.

The significance of this evening is that the money spent on every ticket will not only benefit the buyer but also facilitate those who are enveloped in poverty to receive medical care and attention through the Denipitiya Medical Mission, which is a Government Approved Charity. The tickets, for what is distinctly anticipated to be a ‘full house’, are now selling fast at Torana. As the saying goes “The early bird catches the worm.”

The song and dance exponents Nalin & the Star Combination will belt out those popular hits that will see everyone joining in the singing with a prize on offer for the Best Singing Table.

In the latter part of the evening, when the mood is right for dancing, the floor will open up to take on as many couples as would enjoy tripping the light fantastic toe until guest star the evergreen Annesley Malawana comes on stage for a scintillating performance that will lead up to the Baila competition.

This will also once again throw up a Winner and a Runner-Up couple.

Something absolutely fresh, exquisite and visually tantalizing will be the incredible Michael Jackson floor show staged by 14-year old Malindu de Silva.

To keep the night alive and ticking award winning compere Vijaya Corea will be mike side with his wit and humour enveloped by the unique tambour of his golden voice. The evening will be replete with rewards for those who are there! A return Air Ticket to Singapore on Sri Lankan Airlines is the first prize in the Entrance Ticket Draw with many more.

There are valuable prizes on the Business card ticket draw too. Prizes have been slashed on food and beverage, especially for this occasion, with no corkage too. “If nothing else, it’s great to be able to try Singapore for a very reasonable number,” a music fan mentioned. Naturally there is already a rush on for tickets! Some have planned to gather their friends and form a table, considering that every 10 tickets purchased would allow one access to an exclusive reserved table.
