SINGAPORE TOURISM BOARD (CUSTOMER SERVICE) EXPERIENCE AWARD 2015

On Wednesday, 21st October 2015, the Asia Ability team conducted a little workshop, where they spent an hour with the recent finalists for the Singapore Experience Award training and preparing them for a Beatswork performance.

Beatswork was the perfect highlight in welcoming the guests and boost up the finalists’ mood as we were the first in line to perform for the grand Gala dinner. They were so enthusiastic and performed a great show as it was a big and anticipated day for them before receiving their awards!

These finalists were initially sceptical and nervous about the performance at first, but we managed to build their confidence up on stage... whether they win the awards or not, they were already heroes.

Check out the video below for bits of what happened! 

So last August we went to Singapore and had drumming sessions with the wonderful athletes from the Singapore Youth Olympic Games. The 8 days drumming sessions took place at the Youth Olympics Village. Not that we're flattering ourselves but the event was a huge success and we had blast! Just check these videos and see for yourself. Leave us comments, love/hate? You decide.

Led by David Fotheringham, the YOG community and Champions got together and rocked their beat!

"The end of our LAST community drumming session with Alex Popov et al - captured for posterity..! Amazing that Alex Popov is exactly twice the height of Zul but Zul's smile is 4 times bigger than anyone elses!! Well done to all the Asia Ability Youth Olympic Games crew - FANTASTIC atmosphere!" - David Powell, Asia Ability Managing Director.

CELEBRATING 2010 WITH BEATSWORK COUNTDOWN

"On 31st December 2009, 50 radio 91.3 fans joined the Asia Ability team as they shook the Asian Civilizations Museum with the powerful rhythms of BEATSWORK samba. Part of radio 91.3's COUNTDOWN PARTY 2010, the event drew all ages and races for a brief but dynamic experience of diversity in harmony. Not only seen and heard by the gathered crowds on Singapore's riverside, the session was also broadcast live on the radio! An awesome way to kick-off the New Year with a BANG!!"

ASIA ABILITY'S BEATSWORK; INTERACTIVE DRUMMING AT SINGAPORE FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX 2009

Asia Ability rocked the Singapore Formula One night race last week with two Beatswork performances for the F1 crowds. It was a "public" event in that the 80 participants were rounded up right there and then from the thousands of F1 fans. We had a team of 15 Sambistas and "grabbers" as the Asia Ability crowd gatherers became quickly known. We were in good company as the performers lined up that weekend in Singapore included the Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, ZZ Top, Back Street Boys and Chakka Khan not bad support bands for our BEATSWORK!! 

It was a huge hit with the crowd, created good press publicity in Singapore and a fun weekend for the Asia Ability team (with the added benefit of performer passes to the F1 race!!).
