I was sent a video of Noeline Honter doing the song 'Beauty Land the Beast', with Maxi Rosairo, live on stage.

Multi-faceted Sri Lankan celebrity... checking out land of birth

The clip, I was told, was from The Island Music Awards, held in the late '90s ... probably 1994. Believe me, their performance was simply awesome ... the vocals, the voices, the passion, the expression, the enthusiasm. Yes, that is what singing is all about. And no lyric-stands, planted in front, for guidance.

Well, the good news I have for you is that Noeline Honter will be in our midst next month (August) and she will be seen in action at three events, in Colombo.

Noeline will be featured at Gatz, Cinnamon Life, on Sunday, 24th August, and again on 20th of September.

Her first date at Gatz will be with the group Terry & The Big Spenders, while her 20th September performance will be with Mirage.

Noeline will also be performing at the BMICH, on the 30th of August, at a concert, 'Vibes of Yesterday.'
