We have a strong feeling that many of the kids who flocked to the recent 7107 International Music Fest in Clark, Pampanga, will comprise the audience at the Closeup Forever Summer dance music fest on April 5 at the Globe Circuit grounds in Makati (the site of the old Sta. Ana racetrack).
The news reached us sometime in September via Inquirer food columnist and moonlighting singer Margaux Salcedo, who said that her monthly stint, as well as those of other jazz acts at the Tap Room of Manila Hotel, was no longer being renewed.
