Esplanade Presents A Date With Friends 2024 Siblings In Song With Patrick and Perry Koh, Mel & Joe Ferdinands and Ernesto Valerio & Greg Anderson

For some, music is not just a solo endeavour, but also a chance to bring family members closer together. Three sibling duos are set to wow audiences with their repertoire of pop and rock ’n’ roll tunes.

Among them are Patrick and Perry Koh, scions of well-known local singer Walter Koh, once dubbed Singapore’s Pat Boone. The brothers were Talentime contestants in the 1970s, and will bring their luscious harmonies to the stage once again.

Another pair are Mel and Joe Ferdinands, who joined Talentime in 1971 when they were only 12 and nine years old, respectively. The brothers penned the 2011 book Mel & Joe: I Play & Sing: Celebrating A Musical Journey In Singapore Spanning 40 Years.

And there is Ernesto Valerio, dubbed Singapore’s Dean Martin, who has been performing for more than half a century. He will take the stage with his step-brother Greg Anderson.

Together, these three duos are expected to take audiences down memory lane with classics by Andy Williams, The Rolling Stones, Louis Armstrong, The Righteous Brothers, The Beatles and the Bee Gees.
