Richard Poon to stage concert at L'Fisher tonight

BACOLOD City will have a chance to watch live the performance of famous Jazz singer of the Philippines Richard Poon in his concert dubbed as "The Crooner, Philippine Tour," which will be held at 8 p.m. today, Friday, at the La Proa Main of L' Fisher Hotel, Bacolod City.

Singer and songwriter Richard Poon was joined by his fans when he paid a courtesy visit Thursday to Bacolod City officials led by Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson and Councilors Em Ang, Carl Lopez and Mona Dia Jardin.

Poon said this is already his fourth time to come to Bacolod.

"Usually in Manila, the people are used to it but not much in the provinces. Organizers suggested a tour around Cebu, Iloilo, Coronadal, General Santos and now Bacolod," he said.

Poon said he's happy to be back in Bacolod, saying it's nice to perform in the city again.

"We are trying to bring the concert from Manila to your city so that the people can experience listening to my music. We want to bring the old music to this generation," he said. (Carla N. Canet)
