Singapore Expats

Recent ex-pat from New York City who misses going to the Blue Note. Would love to meet other easy-going, low key, professionals, iinterested in checking out the jazz scene in Singapore. I have heard that there is actually is some though I have yet to find it.

try Crazy Elephant at Clarke Quay on Thursday nights. Sunday night is jam, Thursday jazz and every other night blues rock.

i'll go any night but Thursday - sorry, but each to their own.

I have never been to Blue Note but of course always wanted to. I listen to all kind of music, and recently just moved here. So it'd be nice to hang out especially during the weekend. Drop me a line at [email protected]. Bye now-

Blue Jaz Cafe has some great acts, local and from elsewhere and is free most of the time and has cheap beer and is not on Quay.

Hi there

New here too - from UK. Massive fan of music so let me know if you have found anywhere I'd be happy to meet up. There's a gig on Monday night - Sterophonics not quite Jazz but it'll be live. Keen to go but haven't found any friends here yet!

Cheers

Rachel

Hi, I am a jazz fan as well. I have heard about this jazz bar at boat quay. I want to check it out if anybody is interested, maybe on Sunday night? Always good to end the weekend with some good tunes before the hectic work week starts again.

RachelThorpe - I am keen to see Stereophonics as well if you still fancy going?

Southbridge looks good.

What time were you thinking?

Im interested in checking out the blue jazz venue... Is there enough interest to get a group going ?

Hi shoegal & ozsingfly,

Looks like the three of us are keen to check it out, sounds like a good start to me.

Do you want to give me a call and we can make a time to meet up? 8189 0198 . Maybe around 7pm?

Hi AussieinSingapore, Im out of town but back tonight (Monday) perhaps sometime this week we can all check it out ? My email is shoegal54 at gmail.

Hi Aussieinsingapore

Yep still going to Sterophonics - meeting some other contacts from this forum. Not sure how this all works but I'm meeting them at 6.45 at Number 5 bar - Emerald Hill. So I guess if you still want to come then see you there. I haven't got a ticket yet but I have been assured you can buy them at the door.

Cheers

Rachel
