Until we handed over to the Singapore Armed Forces there were a lot of British and Commonwealth service personnel in Singapore , with Folk Clubs in Three RAF bases ( Seletar , Changi and Tengah) and one each for the Navy and the Army . Although set up and run by Service people , a fair number of civilians also attended the clubs .
There is now a sort of organisation of ex Singers singers , with a reunion in October ! If any Catters want info , just Ask !!

There was thriving club in the mid 70s in Malta.
The term "Kalaframa banana" means something to me and at least on other catter, but I'm not say whom!

Presumably the October reunion will be in Singapore, then?

Of course I've nothing to do with Singapore reunions, and wouldn't be able to make it to Amesbury, but from the stories you and Efsee have told those must have been some fun times!
