"Albert & Menchie Duo"
Something special happens when they sing together. Albert and Menchie, a husband and wife duo took New Zealand by storm from the '80's to the Year 2000 through their musical talent and prowess. Originally from the Philippines, they were once the cream of the crop in every hotels and bars in Manila and Baguio City until they were sighted by the NZ Lion Breweries entertainment agent who was in a mission to bring to New Zealand world-class Duos from across the globe to play for their chain of hotels and bars. Their first stint in 1980 was Hotel St George in Wellington. The Breweries brought them back in 1986 performing for the Cobb & Co circuit enthralling audiences all through out the North Island. They have a wide range of repertoire consisting of folk, folk-rock, ballad, pop, country to rock & roll from the 60's to 90's. Albert's amazing vocals sound so much like the originals that you may not pick the difference when he does a cover of his music heroes such as Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Don Mclean, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Simon & Garfunkel, CSNY, Eagles and even Neil Diamond. Complementing this, Menchie's powerful vocals, charisma & infectious style will captivate you as she performs songs from Bette Midler, Annie Lennox, Chrissy Hynde, The Corrs through to the Stevie Nicks to Bonnie Tyler...and don't look now, the lady also plucks the guitar. Individually, they're strong, together, they're two of a kind.
