On, Monday, 16 June, 2008 at 8:30 pm MiG will perform a benefit for the Make a Wish Foundation in Hong Kong.
JJ's Music Room, Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong
MiG and the WE WILL ROCK YOU Band will perform a showcase of songs from MiG's debut CD, new original material, as well as the odd song from the show. Tickets are $180HK (includes a complimentary drink) but $100HK of that will go directly to the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION.
This a chance to say goodbye and thank you to fabulous Hong Kong on the last week of the WWRY season, as well as raising money for a magnificent charity.
JJ's Music Room, Grand Hyatt, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, China
**We'll try to get more details**

My niece was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic leukemia at the age of 2 and 1/2. It was devastating for our family and there were a lot of times she couldn't play with her cousins because they were exposed to lots of germs and she was so immunosuppressed. it was a tough time. 6 months after she started chemo she was treated to a trip to Disney World. It was the much needed respite she and her family needed and helped to boost their spirits to continue. I think Make a Wish was the sponsor if I remember correctly and for years after there was a Chistmas party where the families in the community could get together. My niece is now a beautiful 17 year old but life has not been easy. she has some learning problems with math and reading due to the radiation therapy and struggles with school but will be a senior in the fall and takes classes with everyone and soon will be off to college. I will never forget what boost they had after that trip after the torture of the treatments she and her family endured\ make a wish is a fabulous organization. Thanks MiG!

Hi Guys!! Great news. jvd from MiG-music.com was kind enough to give us permission to post her pictures and recap from the Make A Wish Gig last night!! She has some video that she'll be uploading to YT and we'll link to that as soon as we get the green light. #bowdown-1#jvd!!! Her pictures are amazing!! MiG opened with "One Sunset at a Time" and brought the house down. I wanted to take a video of an entire song, but I didn't manage to - I just wanted to dance! Sorry about that, folks. Also, I just checked the videos that I do have, and the sounds is pretty bad; not sure why. I am still learning to use this camera. I will post it on youtube and link here, but probably not until the weekend.
I can't remember all the songs he did, but off the top of my head:
One Sunset at a Time Blown Away Could it Be She Loved Nuthin' You Do {brain freeze - can't recall a few in the middle} We Will Rock You Baby I love your way Do or Die
I brought two friends and when we were leaving, they were both converted fans. When MiG started "Could it Be" (which I love and listen to 1,000 times every day in the office), one of my friends (who has the office next to mine) looked at me and said, "It's that song!" I had to laugh.
Everyone there was so excited and it was such a great show. I had a great night! Annie listening to MiG performing BILYW. Love this pic!! I want to reiterate that these pics and the recap were shared by jvd and she gave her permission for us to post both here at Team MiG. THANK YOU, JVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #blowingkiss# We really appreciate your kindness. #smilieface#

One sunset is one of my top favs and it sounds like a really cool set. Thanks Nancy for getting permission to have these here. I think it is really important for MIG that all his fans at his approved sites have access to information about him!!

Home in Me, a "totally rockin version of I Need You Here" and I Want To Break Free.
Sounds like the fans at this gig got to experience MiG in rare form and at his finest!!

Thank you for sharing JVD. I LOVE to see new pictures of MiG and I'm so glad that the crowd at the Make A Wish gig got to see MiG in rare form and doing something outside WWRY to show off his awesome talent as a performer in his own right. I have to agree that I liked the picture of Annie watching MiG perform. She seemed to be having a good time at the show. Can't wait for the videos to be posted on You Tube. Thanks again for sharing with Team MiG...

Thanks so much, jvd! Your recap and photos are excellent! What a great set - Blown Away and One Sunset at a Time are two of my most favorite originals. The second picture from the bottom is a standout - such a cute picture of MiG.
THANK YOU! #thyourock#

You're all very welcome. :) It was a great time and a great night.
Fuschia, there was a mix-up so I have deleted the video and it will be posted on a public YT account after the weekend.

I love all the pics, but I think my fave is the one of Annie watching MiG perform BILYW. I know they all respect and admire one another as artists and they all recognize one another's talent because they work together, but the expression on her face watching MiG perform a song that is so special to him and all of us, well, it just says so much to me.
