Eric Clapton Live in Singapore (SOLD OUT!)

The 17-year wait is over!

Eric Clapton will make his long awaited return to Singapore in January 2007.

Clapton rose to prominence as a member of the Yardbirds, whose lineup would eventually include all three British guitar heroes of the sixties: Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck.

In mid-1966, Clapton formed his own band, Cream, with bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker. With this lineup, Clapton sought "to start a revolution in musical thought . . . to change the world, to upset people, and to shock them." His vision was more than met, as Cream quickly became the preeminent rock trio of the late sixties.

The only triple inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of both The Yardbirds and Cream and as a solo artist), Eric Clapton continues to astonish and delight a vast spectrum of music lovers today.

Cornell Club extend this event to its members, alumni and friends by offering 20 Cat 4 ticket @ $127 each (inclusive of Sistic charge). Cornell Club members will get an additional 15% of the ticket price. Details as followed:

Date:	Saturday, 13th January 2007

When the bar was closed in the mid-60s, celebrating the spirit of Zinck's became a favorite Thursday night Collegetown tradition of undergraduates.

Today Spirit of Zinck's Night is celebrated in over 90 locations around the world. So come join us and network with other Cornell alumni @ The Boulevard. Relive the Cornell Zinck's Night tradition on October 27th from 6:00pm til 9:00pm.
