KL pumps up the volume
Malaysia's live music scene usually makes the news over the strict dress code requirements imposed on stars such as Gwen Stefani, but a concert series starting next month promises to put the nation on the musical map for much more positive reasons.
Live & Loud KL 07, from November 23 to December 2, will see a host of big names performing at various venues throughout Kuala Lumpur, including Whitney Houston, Shaggy, James Morrison, Kool and the Gang and the James Taylor Quartet. For further details go to lnlkl.com.
