Shane Filan returns to Manila

Tweet

Shane Filan, one of the lead vocalists of super group and worldwide phenomenon Westlife fulfills a promise he made to Filipino fans last year, as he holds his much-awaited solo concert on October 1, 2014 at the World Trade Center Manila. 

Shane’s first ever major show in Manila after the Irish group’s fond farewell tour back in 2011 and is part of his ongoing You & Me World Tour to promote his debut album.

His new album is way more than ballads that Westlife and has been described as a “progression from Westlife’s sound.. the end result is a collection of adult contemporary songs that mix a variety of musical styles.” 

The record is dominated by up-tempo and mid-tempo songs, a reflection of his own record collection, mixing pop, soul, country and even a hint of traditional Irish music. With this first solo album, Shane emerges as a pop writer to be reckoned with. Shane chooses the very first song he wrote, the catchy Everything To Me, to be his first single. 

Born July 5, 1979, Shane Steven Filan grew up in Sligo, a busy commercial town in the northwest of Ireland. The youngest of seven children, he has three brothers and three sisters: Finbarr, Peter Jr, Yvonne, Liam, Denise and Mairead. His parents owned a diner in Sligo named Carlton Café located on Castle Street and Shane used to work there as a waiter from a very early age. 

Shane found his passion in music at a young age. Together with school mates Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, and later joined by Nicky Byrne and Brian McFadden the group would eventually create Westlife. Their eponymous first album was released in 1999 and shot the band to fame. 

Ten albums and over 50 million sales later, the band came to an amicable split with a wonderful, sell-out farewell tour in 2012 after which Shane decided to embark on a solo career. His first solo album You & Me was released in November 2013 under MCA MUSIC. 

Shane Filan’s first solo gig in Manila, featuring several of Westlife’s greatest hits, is definitely not to be missed! Presented by Midas Promotions, Shane Filan You & Me Tour Live in Manila 2014 is held on 1 October 2014 at the World Trade Center Manila.

One of the well known and very best names when it comes to the creation of significant and good quality underwears and or uniforms like sando and tshirts brand is Guitar. Guitar Underwear is the brand that started in the 1960s has been and up to now, a household name.

Its name being synonymous with “quality,” Guitar has transcended from a mere undergarment to a necessity. It has now expanded its lines from innerwear shirts to outerwear shirts and sandos and modern basic briefs, panties and boxer shorts.

As Guitar goes to the next level of clothing products, they have tapped celebrities Carlos Agassi, Mark Mugen Streigl, Ann Mateo and Gloc-9 to be the brand’s new ambassadors.

Carlos Agassi, who has made his name in showbiz as an actor, host and rapper, was chosen by Guitar not only because of his physique but the brand sees in him that he strives to be the best in what he does, which is what the company also strives for. 

Mark “Mugen” Martinez Striegl is a half Filipino half American mixed martial arts fighter living in Baguio City. Born and raised in Tokyo, this is where he embraced the sport which now has become his life. His passion for MMA has made Mark a perfect role model for the youth and endorser for Guitar. 

Online singing sensation Ann Mateo has also caught the eye of Guitar because of her beautiful face and wonderful talent. She's been featured recently on Vogue Italia and was the May 2014 cover of MUSE magazine. She's currently one of the hosts of PTV4’s Upload TV every Tuesday 8-9pm. 

Gloc-9, Awit Award winning rapper and composer  was chosen by Guitar because of his being true to the Filipino spirit, which shows in his unique style of music. His fast-flowing vocal style has made him one of the most successful hip-hop artists in the Philippines. He represents Guitar as a genuine Filipino brand, simple yet with international appeal.

Guitar heads with the Brand Ambassadors presented during the media launch held at the Cities Events Place, Quezon City last August 23, 2014. Now celebrating its golden year, Guitar aims to create a distinct lifestyle with the help of their new star ambassadors.
