FOUR very young brothers, rendered homeless and penniless by the Haiyan storm devastationin Tacloban, Philippines have captured theof admiring audiences at the Philippines’ biggest concert venue, the Araneta Coliseum in the ABS-CBN Christmas TV special last December 2013 and one of the world’s grandest concert stages, the Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 2014.
Jon Keats of Cavern Club saw the performances of the band at youtube for which they were invited at Cavern Club for the first time last July 2014 while they were in UK for a “Here Comes The Sun” UK concert tour. It is an incredible, unheard of rise in the Philippines’ music scene, accomplished in only 9 months after surviving the devastation in their home province of Tacloban in the Philippines.
These boys are RJ (Lead guitar) 22 years old; Ralph, (bass guitar) 17; Raymart (rhythm guitar), 20, and Reno (drummer) 24. Sons of Reynaldo Otic, Sr. who had to relocate the family because of the seeming hopelessness of their lives post-Yolanda tragedy.
As they are here again, as a continuation of their UK concert tour now entitled as “Thank You UK” concert in recognition of the UKs generosity to the Filipino people amounting to an aid of around £93 million as per DEC, a UK Tour will only be complete without visiting the Cavern Club for the second time. For one night only they are supporting The Cavern Club Beatles, playing a short set of Beatles classics. A chance to play again at The Cavern means the world to these guys, so a fantastic night of Beatles music is guaranteed!
