Naughty Noor Nice: a great Holiday warm up!!


It’s holiday season…again, and that means I could look forward to another episode of Naughty Noor Nice!

NNN is a lovely collaboration of people that seriously enjoy music and want to have fun playing it.

It is about a little bit R rated, humoristic view on Christmas. Although I guess that the rules of the venue, my trusted Blu Jaz café 3rd floor, already take care of the R restriction.

Naughty Aya Sekine

Noor Mohammed Noor



Nice Joanna Dong

Or is it

Naughty Joanna



Noor Noor

Nice Aya

I never remember. I was even more confused with who was being who, that evening because Joanna and Aya looked like the embodiment of Yin and Yang. 



Anyway Noor, though very nice is always Noor, or is he…?


For more good looks and a bit of a serious note the band had added Hiro Maekawa on Bass.

Though even he could not always keep a straight face.

NNN + Hiro presented a long list of songs with cleverly altered or fully rewritten lyrics, and a large number of guests, to put up an entertaining Christmas show, that will be number one on my list for a long time to come

The show started off with a blizzard visit (apologies for the Dutchism) of James Flynn, 


who, together with Joanna, aside from promoting his show for this evening at the Sultan, set the tone for the rest of the evening; naughty on a slippery slope!

To the level where Joanna had to step in


 and step up! 

After quite a bit of fun we were surprised with a visit of the man himself.

I don’t want this to be a gossip column but I got the impression that Santa and Joanna had spent quite a bit of time together this past year.

Santa was only the introduction to more guests, Lily Anna Nuris came to decorate the stage with color. 






Noor received assistance from “drummer boy”  Teo Jia Rong.




Leonardo Mendoza stopped by for some of his cool solos on his Electronic Winter Instrument,


as Sebastian Ho (3x) stepped up the stage to add more cheer.


As said an awesome holiday show, which make you wonder, wouldn’t the rest of Singapore want to see this too. It’s a perfect way to warm up some of these cold faces.
