Fans of the Blue Rats, formerly a regular live act at Martinis Bar in Mandarin Oriental Manila, are glad to know that their favorite blues band now plays every Wednesday at Strumm’s (110 Jupiter Street, Bel-Air, Makati; tel. 8954636).
Laid-back is a deceiving term to describe the Wednesday night scene at Martinis Bar of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Makati City. Although the regular crowd of Caucasian expats appears to be relaxed, engaging in small talk while sipping their drinks, soon they will lose their inhibitions at the sound of rousing music from a band that calls itself the Manila Blues Experience.
