Layan Fest 2013 @ klpac (7/4/13)
"LAYAN-ING" WORLD CLASS TALENTS AT MINI MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS FEST

The sweet sounds of indie folk rock trio Jumero filling up klpac's foyer.
It may have been promoted as a mini festival but it certainly gave us maximum delight. The inaugural Layan Fest 2013 organised by Abuden Productions with hardly a budget, and held at klpac in Sentul Park last Sunday, 7th April, 2013, with modest ambitions, turned out to be an excellent showcase of some of the best rising talents in Malaysia. For those who made the effort to be there on a lazy Sunday, it was more than worth their while, and many would have gone home exhausted from applauding and cheering throughout the nine and half hour long festival. The free festival which was the brainchild of its founders Nick Davis (solo artiste and also lead singer of indie rock band Rosevelt) and Rosheen Fatima (performance editor at Time Out & freelance performance artiste), was conceived over a late night supper session at where else but a mamak restaurant, is aimed at helping the much cherished not-for-profit Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac) create awareness in order to raise funds to ensure its continued existence.
