Down Memory Lane

The Moratuwa Arts Forum once again pulled off another successful sing-a-long presentation entitled 'Down Memory Lane' held last month, sponsored by Bank of Ceylon. Despite the inclement weather, music lovers turned up in their numbers to enjoy the evergreens of yesteryear that hold a special attraction for them.

The vintage orchestra comprised Randolph de Silva and Ramani Soysa - piano, Nissanka Wimalasuriya on steel pedal guitar, violin, harmonica and accordion.

Ivan de Silva and Hemaka Fernando played rhythm guitar, Brian Coorey and Channa Galappaththi were on bass guitar with Laksiri Fernando and Hiran Fernando on drums. The MAF singers included Merril Fernando, C.D. Fonseka, Dilanthi Jayaratne, Surangi Jayaweera, Anurudha Mendis, Dilrukshi Galappaththi, Kumari Silva, Richard de Mel, Lakshman Fernando, Hemaka Fernando, Priya Peiris and Derrick de Silva.

In between the sing-a-long sessions, there were guest spots featuring Primal Liyanage in a set of folk songs, Brian Coorey, Cumar Peiris, Ivan de Silva and Hiran Fernando in a medley of songs from the 70's. Violinist Ruwan Weerasekera displayed his artistry on a classical piece, while Dilanthi Jayaratne sang 'It's a Miracle.'
