The Strollers roll back the years doing what they did FMTNews FMTLifestyle
As they were : Hussein Idris , Billy Chang and Michael Magness , doing the opening number “Do What You Gotta Do”.
Held at a packed Hangover PJ and live streamed to the adjoining, and equally crowded, Beerbook Tapas and Sports Bar, the event will go down as one that was least expected, but most warmly received. “The atmosphere was beyond words as we shared stories and created bonds,” Balasingam added, recalling his bell-bottomed disco days in the 70s at the Glass Bubble in Jayapuri hotel , where The Strollers were a headline act.
Retiree Peter Choo and wife Evelyn, both in their sixties, brought relief to some who queued to get into the venue from as early as noon by buying them drinks.“That’s how Evelyn and I met – while queuing up for a Strollers concert at the Seremban town hall in the 70s,” he said with a broad smile. Until Sunday, the five-piece group, the oldest performing pop band in Malaysian music history, would likely not have realised the extent of their impact on the local music scene and Malaysians of their era.
The audience lapped up every moment as they played some of the band’s 17 original songs that rocketed them into “supergroup” status, alongside hits like “Sausalito” by Western Union Band, and “Butterfly” by October Cherries.Radio presenter and singer from the same period, A Radha Krishnan, also rolled back the years, acting as compere and one of five guest singers who performed on Sunday evening.
