(Season Premiere) Tribute to SG Music Icons: That One with the Bar Boss and the Nightlife King
Description
Welcome to the season premiere of The Chris Henson Conversation! 🎙️ Tonight, we're getting to the heart of Singapore's nightlife scene with two incredible guests: the legendary Dennis Foo, founder of St. James Power Station, and the amazing Rosalind Brown, co-owner of the iconic Mel's Place Restaurant & Bar.
We've all wondered what happened to that vibrant nightlife we remember, and in this episode, we're getting answers. Dennis gives us an unfiltered look at the past—from fighting for licenses in the 80s to building his nightlife empire—and shares why he chose to step away. Meanwhile, Rosy gives us a glimpse into the current struggles of a business owner, dealing with crazy high rents and constant noise complaints.
But here's a secret from our chat: Did you know that a lively nightlife scene is more than just about having a good time? It's a key part of our economy, integral to the ecosystem of our retail and restaurant businesses, and vital for tourism. Dennis and Rosy share their insights on what it will take to get that magic back.
This is a conversation you won't want to miss! Grab a drink, get comfortable, and tune in.
