The list of entertainment grows rapidly as the day approaches. We are grateful to have Shelves on-board Twestival Singapore this coming March 25. They were more than happy to grab this gig when we approached them a few days ago. Sweet, now we have a slew of bands to rock us out on Twestival Singapore!

About Shelves

Shelves is an indie rock band from Singapore made up of 4 talented individuals - Noel Yeo who mostly writes, sings and handles the guitar, Mel Ho who’s on the other guitar but on top of that, he has the voice to charm the ladies, Robin Chua who mans the drums and Brian Koh who keeps the tempo going through the bass.

Here’s a sample of a song they played; It’s Always Summer.

Do come on down this coming March 25 to rock out to Shelves, Jack & Rai and a host of other entertainment at Brewerkz all in the name of charity!

That’s right, we’ve just received confirmation that Jack and Rai will be performing for us this coming Twestival at Brewerkz! The Singaporean duo have generously agreed to swoon the crowd with their melodic tunes, all in the name of charity.

About Jack & Rai

Jack & Rai have been the frontmen of EIC since the band was formed in July 2002. Before their first gig as a duo at Wala Wala, they met while performing as soloists on separate nights at local bar Barcelona. A few chance meetings between 2000 and 2002 turned into ad-hoc jam sessions before an audition at Wala Wala started a new chapter in their lives and music careers.

Here’s a sample of their highest rated single; The Fa La La Song.

Are you hooked yet? Come down to Twestival Singapore this coming March 25 to catch them live. This is a fantastic opportunity for Jack and Rai fans to meet them in-person and who knows, perform with them too.

The TwestivalSG committee is proud to have Brewerkz Singapore as one of our very first sponsors for the event this year. They will provide us with the venue on 25^th March 2010 and on top of that, 10% of all revenue from food and drinks sold that night will go towards our selected charity organisation!

Founded in 1997, Brewerkz has grown from a small microbrewery on Riverside Point just over a decade ago to an enormous operation taking up the entire river frontage, consuming everything in its path! They now have two other branches elsewhere in Singapore. This demonstrates that Brewerkz has the essential ingredients for success; great food and drinks, efficient service and a cracking location.

Do head down to Brewerkz Riverside Point on March 25 to have a blast with fantastic food, drinks and company, all in the name of charity. Oh, and when we say company, we really do mean it; celebrities like *ahem* (more to be announced later) will be populating the entire venue on that day.

Mark that down on your calendar and we’ll see you there!

Twestival Singapore is happening once again this year. It’s been confirmed that it will happen on the 25th of March, do stay tune for more detail regarding the event!

Just in case you are wondering what this is all about, here’s the lowdown on the event:

On Thursday 25 March 2010, people in hundreds of cities around the world will come together offline to rally around the important cause of Education by hosting local events to have fun and create awareness.  Twestival™ (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good.  All of the local events are organised 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.

Last year on 12 February 2009, the first ever Twestival Global managed to raise over $250,000 in donations to support Charity Water. They’re a non-profit organisation that aims to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. As a result, more than 55 wells in Uganda, Ethiopia and India were built to serve over 17,000 people.

This year however, we turn our focus to education and the 72 million children in the world who don’t have the opportunity to go to school. Concern Worldwide has been selected by the Twestival global team and local organisers to be the recipient because of their comprehensive and well-respected approach to education.

This is an issue that involves many different elements: hunger, water, teacher training, building of schools, etc. We hope to use the power of our global event fundraising and social media influence as a vehicle to give people insight into this cause on a deeper level.

While we get everything on the right track for Singapore, do check out our About Page to learn more about Twestival and how to get involved as an individual.

Check out what happened on TwestivalSG Day!

It was awesome, and it’s all because of you!

So we had free Coca-cola, priceless photos and printing them on the spot, Samsung Jet Prizes, T-shirts, Greenyarn apparel, awareness about Give.sg, the Kebabs, games, dunking for charity and a fantastic emcee, right there in the heart of Chinatown.

All-in-all, we had a seriously brilliant time for a wonderful cause.

The TwestivalSG team at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide were ecstatic meeting all the 60+ tweeps on TwestivalSG Day. All of us - and you, too - put in our heart and soul and raised more than $17,000 in funds for the Children’s Cancer Foundation.

We can’t help but feel that even though this tweet-up was history-in-the-making, TwestivalSG very much a sign of things to come in the social media space in Singapore, and all around the world.

See you in at the next TwestivalSG, and even sooner in a tweetup near you!
