Talk about guts !

When I turn fifty,I hope to still possess the verve and nerve,which I found pulsating from a corner of Memory Lane,Ipoh.
Better known as Pasar Karat or Lorkin,it's a well known antique market just like the one in Lorong Kulit,Penang



Just couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted this pop yeh yeh band assembling on the five foot way.
Here was a bunch of uncles-auntie (and I dare say grandpa) getting ready for their weekly street performance.

Check out the full drum set !



Wasn't long before this merry bunch of musicians drew a large crowd of all shapes and sizes.


Both the guitarists are not bad,drummer very energetic  for his age and the singer is an SP kia.
Awesome....



Apparently some of their instruments are loaned by the tauke of a nearby AV store and this is their only chance to get together and practise.

Hampered by a lack of finances,they've had to turn down a number of offers,as they are not busking for cash.





Aspiring singers/dancers are most welcome to add colour to their repertoire every weekend

Yes,even if you've accumulated rust over the years,your vocal contribution would be much appreciated here.

Do check out their blog for videos at

and if you'd like to offer them some form of assistance,I'm sure they'll tell you it's never too late to make ones dreams come true.
