another memorable Sing-Along judging by the success of last year's
show organized by Zonta Club I of Colombo in aid of their numerous
social service projects. Funds generated
from this Sing-Along will also greatly benefit ''Meth Sevena'' -
the Remand Refugee Home in Gangodawila. "Meth Sevana"
currently houses 407 women and 47 children among whom are 6 pregnant
mothers and 12 mothers with new-born babies. Tickets priced at Rs. 300/- are available at 'Vision House', Colombo 4. 'Victories

F. on 'Star Parade' Lalith Fernando,
the former Lead Singer and the Leader of the Moonstones that later
turned to be one of Sri Lanka's leading and popular Western Bands
will be featured on popular weekly programme 'Sri Lankan Star Parade'
produced by Nalin de Silva and presented by Bevil Palihawadana.
Lalith will
be singing a few new Sinhala originals such as "Pa Mal Sina",
"Rubara Niliya" and "Maggie Nandei" which are
now frequently requested and already very popular on the various
Sinhala Channels. "Maggie
Nandei" composed and sung in the tempo and style of that ever
popular "Mango Kalu Nandei" is a song describing Maggie's
different qualities to that of sister Mango whilst "Pa Mal
Sina" is already in the Sinhala charts. Moonstone fans will remember Lalith for his versatile and easy style of singing both Sinhala and Western songs and would no doubt be looking forward to listen to Lalith's singing after a lapse of a couple of years. 'Tharaka
