Crossworks sets to rock again

Very soon... all the talks on reviving Crossworks will be realized!! With a team which has almost 60% new faces now, the band is all-ready and pumped to make their way to the stage again. While Benard taking over and function as the leader of the band, Crossworks has recruited a young and talented lead guitarist from PCC, Yuen Thern who can't wait anymore to rock the stage =) We also have 2 dedicated musicians from the Borneo, Riksen (lead guitarist) and Fernando (bassist). And of course, without Florence, the fantastic, fabulous, crazy, insane keyboardist, the band is not complete. Just worried that she plays too much of jazz-y music.... haha. In vocalist section, Joe Ang and Su Mei, both are strong in singing "parts" will be supporting Benard, who is also the lead singer and acoustic guitarist.

And.... my gratitude to all these wonderful people, dedicated and talented musicians and singers, with their kind and compassionate hearts, I thank them for considering me and I'm equally humbled and touched when they agreed to give me a try and take me in as the drummer of the band... hahaha ;-)

Alright, talk about Crossworks, I would like to give all the credits to Mr Daniel Yong who's also the founder of the band. With his tireless effort, he actually started the band with a team consist of musicians and singers from churches all over the Penang Island. Crossworks then started to develope and travel around to do worship workshops, hold evangelistic concerts as well as doing concerts by invitation. And today, Daniel's leadership and guidance has played a major role in reviving Crossworks. Uncle Daniel, we will continue to carry on with the vision that you've set for Crossworks!! .... the legacy continues!!

*Bonus fact :

Something that I have to tell you about Crossworks is the band itself has produced a superstar who has gained the popularity in the entertainment circle now. Hannah Tan - yes, Hannah Tan that you often see in TV, magazines and newspaper adverts was one of the Crossworks' members =)
