Shortly after bagging awards or being nominated at the recent Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM 2003) in Kuala Lumpur, three current top artistes and a rock group have agreed to perform in a combined concert here at the end of the month.

AIM 2003 acknowledged Siti Sarah as 'Best Female Vocalist', Yasin for 'Best Selling Nasyid album', while Misah was nominated for 'Best female vocalist' and Def-Gab-C as 'Best Rock Group'.

The artistes will perform for the 'Konsert Sensasi 2003' scheduled to be held at the JPCC Amphitheatre in Jerudong on May 31, at 8.30 pm.

The organiser said they grabbed the opportunity to contact the artistes shortly after they had won the coveted honours and nominations in Malaysia.

"It was hard work because the artistes and group commanded a big demand for concerts and performances. We are lucky partly because they have never performed for the public in Brunei Darussalam and this made them more than eager to come," a spokesperson said.

The sensational concert - organised by ZA ZI Entertainment and backed by experienced concert coordinators - will feature the three top artistes and group live on stage, thanks to top local musicians who will group together to provide the backing band for the artistes.

In addition, local group Starlight - who currently performs at Coco Beats Café every Saturday night - will make a guest appearance at the concert.

Tickets are priced at $15, $20, $25 and $30 and can be purchased at G-07, Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Complex in the capital, Restaurant Dayang, Kompleks Perusahaan Beribu, Gadong, Restaurant Hijau Budiman, Hotel Koperasi, Seria, Nasem Café, Jalan Pandan 4, Kuala Belait and Coco Beats Café at CIRC, Simpang 15, Old Airport, JKR Complex, Berakas.

Tickets will also be available at the entrance of the JPCC Amphitheatre on the night of the concert.

It was learnt that a total of 28 songs, including two from the guest group, will be performed during the concert.

"We feel this is the only concert that provides good value for money.

Our hotline numbers - 2233516, 2455625, 8746328, 8755357 and 8760104 - are already jammed with calls from inquisitive fans," said a spokesperson, adding that fans can tune in to Radio Kristal for the latest news on the concert.
