What will it take to bring Diana Krall to Manila?

Postby sumnerbrowne » Sun Nov 01, 2015 6:24 pm

Hi WS,

Wondering if we have members here who can enlist their network with concert promoters/producers to bring Diana Krall to Manila?

She's visiting Sing, Bangkok, KL, Tokyo and HK. Manila is not in her itinerary yet.

Thanks.

True, although there is a 4-day window between Bangkok and Tokyo. She can still pass by Manila for a one-night gig and still have 3 days to rest in Japan. :-)

Got a detailed reply from Midas. They apparently did some research in Manila and did not find any market demand here for the music of Diana Krall. In addition, for some reason, it is much, much more expensive to bring in foreign acts in Manila vs other countries in Asia Pacific.

Sadly, they might be right about the lack of market demand here for Diana Krall. Heard that the latest concert here of Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin was only 1/3 full.

Having seen her in Manila and KL, all i can say is in Manila she interacted with the audience more than in KL, was more relaxed so she must like something about Manila!

That 4 day window closed, she is in Seoul after Bangkok.

Thanks for sharing, Sir. Didn't know she has performed here before.

Were you referring to her 1998 gig or her 2002 visit?

I'm all the more puzzled by the assessment of Midas given the attached. Thanks to Maminili.

I have no idea what year i first saw her, she signed my CD's so tomorrow i will find them and at least have a clue as to the year. I guess late 90's ( :$ i just admitted i own cd's :$ )

She must have been in Manila at least 4 times.
First time i saw her it was a Philip Morris event (in a small place), i think the 2nd time was also Philip Morris both in Manila and the 3rd was sponsored by Globe Telecom or a TV company somewhere on the wrong side of Makati (wrong because its where i get lost). I am leaning towards Globe as there are no reasons for any TV company to give me free tickets to anything!

I should have clicked on your link first which confirms 98, as you stated (its been a long day).
I will still check the signed CD's tomorrow!

Based on signed CD release dates, the first time i saw Diana Krall in Manila was sometime after June 1999

Thanks Sir! all the more puzzling to note why she is skipping Manila this time around. Surely she has become more famous now.
