Prelude to Bamboo's concert Colchester

I received a late night call from my Uncle in Norwich.  He asked me if I heard about Bamboo's concert tour in the UK and I said yes.  He asked me if Im going to watch the concert and I said I got no time, too busy with work.  Then my Uncle said what about if I asked you to play during the concert because I know a band here who will be doing a frontact in Bamboo's concert and they're looking for a guitarist.  And then my thoughts suddenly changed.  So, we talked about why they needed the guitarist, when and where the concert is and my uncle gave me the contact details of the band.

I found the band on Facebook and also on YouTube and they're called Crossedwind.  We've made arrangements and had a chat on the phone. I gave my details as well as my website www.vincentryanborres.com and we went from there. Now, I got the list of the songs we're going to play.  Set our rehearsal dates because it's a long journey for me to go to Norwich where the group stays.  And the concert will be in Colchester this April 6, 2013.  Another big break for me to play as a frontact in one of the best vocalist and fronting bands with big names like Rivermaya and Bamboo.  Now, as a solo artist, Bamboo is coming to the UK for his tour and promotion of his new album No Water, No Moon.  You can visit the official website of Bamboo, www.bamboomusiclive.com

Visit tour dates and don't forget to buy your tickets on this April 6 concert in Colchester.


P.S.  Those in the UK can contact me if you're interested to buy tickets.  Bamboo will be in London on April 5, then Colchester on April 6 and Manchester on April 7.

My Mobile Recording Studio

My mobile laptop recording studio This does not mean having a portable handheld recording device and also this is not the proper recording studio, which have all the complete amenities and gear but what I mean when I say Mobile recording studio is that this is something that can be transferred to any location and set up as quickly as you can. Like for example, in my case, I don’t have a proper recording studio or room to record so sometimes I’m doing it in our lounge or other times I will set it up in our dining area or sometimes in our bedroom.   Also by saying mobile recording studio, in any case I’m moving to another place I can easily pack up things and bring it with me like for example I’m here in England as of now and if ever I’m going back home in the Philippines after my contract expires, I can easily bring my recording studio gear and equipment back home.   So, this is not an on-site recording studio or a portable recording studio this is just my own mobile l...

One Love for Abra Charity Concert at The Star of Kings London

Had a wonderful time doing a charity gig for Abra, an island back home in the Philippines where children there are too eager to learn, however, they don't have a proper or decent school to study and no school supplies.  The project was very successful.  Port Mallilin and Carol Panday invited artists from Pilipino Musikero sa UK and loads pledged their support.  Also among the acts were Arisxandra Libantino, the pride of Filipinos in Britain who was one of the finalists. I am the guitarist of Crossedwind and we are dubbed as the House Band during the gig. We opened the event and then we were the closing act.  It was a fun night.  There were some challenges though.  Like for example, although myself and Ashley (sound director) were early to set up the amps and instruments, the pub's sound guy didn't like that we brought guitar, bass, and keyboard amps because it's going to be too loud.  He just want us to use their monitor speakers and house spea...

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas.  During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts.  We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs.  We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...
