“师生练"?

As part of our consistent efforts to improve ourselves, Hark is currently planning several major changes to our programme lineups. We aim to further improve on what we are already doing well, and at the same time incorporate more exciting elements into our shows to raise the quality of the overall experience for our customers. Talking about last night, our popular Monday program "你练我唱", while unchanged, has been renamed to "师生练".

As usual... whoever goes up on stage will be the Student. Our experienced instructor dispenses tips and advice on your singing after every song. Our in-house instructors are Eddie and Philip, two accomplished vocalists in their own right!

Our instructor on duty for the day was Philip... And the highlight of the night belongs to this particular duo who took the stage halfway through the show. It was a guy and a girl, but one wouldn’t be able to tell, because the guy sang the whole song with his high-pitched girl’s voice throughout effortlessly! The whole café was truly stunned – we saw a guy and a girl on stage, but what we heard were two female voices singing. Absolutely amazing! In fact, all our staff, me included, were all so stunned that none of us can actually recall what song they sang, other than it was an S.H.E song. “Superstar”, perhaps? We would like to see you on stage again!

Also, we had a birthday celebration on one of our tables last night. Thus here we give our best wishes to Peter, who brought his whole family, kids included, down for the occasion! Since it was Peter’s special day, our resident live band, all of whom happened to be present on Monday, went up impromptu-style to perform a surprise “Happy Birthday” song for him on stage. Customers were surprised to see the live band too! Yup customers, it was totally impromptu, and we are more than happy to make your day, Peter!

Before the “Happy Birthday” song, the band brought three popular songs on stage. First it was instructor Philip who belted out “你要的不是我”. After that Eddie, who’s one of our most popular performers, came on stage to sing “零”, much to the delight of the crowd. The band’s short performance ended with Amos performing the energetic rock song “恋爱ING”.

After that, all our staff and performers at Hark got a share of Peter’s birthday cake too. (what a big cake it must have been, yeah?) Thank you Peter, and once again, Happy Birthday to you!
