Also featured for the night were the Scorpions (Kuwait) who played some scintillating hits. The night was filled with spontaneous dance to the rhythmic music of these two bands.

In his welcome speech, Mr. Fernandes thanked the advertisers, sponsors and NYC's devoted members for making this event a grand success. He also appreciated the tolerance of the enthusiastic and disciplined guests to the poor service meted out by the hotel and their inability to cater to everyone at times. He appealed to everyone gathered to bear with the organizers as the crowd turned out to be beyond the capacity of the Palace hall. Apart from this hiccup, and a small hitch with the sound system, the guests had a most enjoyable time during the whole event.

Mr. Hazem Eisa Al Eisa, Managing Director of Hazem Gen. Trad. & Contracting Est. and Executive Manager of the Bank of Kuwait & Middle East was the guest of honour for the evening. A galaxy of eminent personalities were present. The versatile Lloyd D'Souza was the master compere for the show.
