Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Merdeka, or Independence Day, celebrations came early at Promenade Hotel Kota Kinabalu Le Rendez-Vous Wine, Cigar & Karaoke Bar to coincide with the hotel’s resident band’s farewell party.

The double celebration saw fans cheering for their favorite band in their last stint and participated in games with loads of prizes won, giving the crowd an exclusive chance to be up-close and personal with the band members.

Entertaining the crowd for the past 4 months, the resident band from the Philippines “Take Note” will be giving their last performance in the city before bowing out and paving the way to their replacement by a local band, “5th Avenue,” consisting of 5 band members with vast experiences as entertainers in and around the city.
