                    [Summary] => 
When was the last time you went to a concert and had two of your favorite artists performing on one stage together? Very seldom, right? This April 8, music history will be written when the Cascades featuring John Claude Gummoe and the World Famous Platters perform together for the first time in an all-hit dinner concert at the Isla Ballroom of the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel. Both groups’ music is well-embraced by Pinoy fans from all generations.

Cascades music has been very much a part of Pinoy life and — believe it or not — is already 50 years old. Fifty summers ago, There’s A Reason hit the Top 10 charts in the US.

                    [Summary] => 
As Funfare reported a few issues ago, The Cascades is breaking up and is coming to Manila for a series of shows.
So how do you bid goodbye to someone about to leave for destinations unknown in search of new horizons? There’s no formula that makes parting easy. It’s always painful. And if the person has brought tremendous joy and pleasure to one’s life, the sense of loss and anguish becomes deeper, more profound, more lasting.

                    [Summary] => It’s a sign of the times. When the economy is in bad shape, people go back to the tried and tested. It’s the safest route to take because it means less risks, less losses. Look at the resurgence of cover songs, retro bands and nostalgia concerts. It all says one thing: let’s stick to the fail-proof ways of the good old days.

	It’s because friends, relatives, co-workers, and even long-lost friends come out of the woodworks and ask for free tickets.
