I’m truly thankful to the promoters for bringing in great acts to Manila past few years.  Though I’m not a Katy Perry nor Gaga fan, I appreciate the diversity and the delight they bring to fans much much younger than I am.

Though I’m not about to buy tickets to the next America nor Sergio Mendes concert, I’m glad they just recently brought in one of my favorite acts – Keane.

I caught them once before and I’m glad I was able to dig up old pics.  This was taken during the Bangkok leg of the Iron Sea tour in 2006-

There’s something special about British bands that draw me to them.  I have loved Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Stone Roses, Smiths and Suede, Bloc Party, Gang of Four and the Specials.

The pic below was taken in last week’s gig at the SMX Arena.  (photo courtesy of Madge Lejano).

Excepting the obvious – the Beatles – who’s your favorite British music act?
