FIRST TIME IN HONG KONG - a Music Festival!!!

bbchris

Well I went yesterday evening and saw DJ Suv (UK), Finley Quaye (UK) and Waxed Apple (also from UK)! I was gutted to have missed Electric Eel Shock (Japan) though....

I took some pics & videos (as usual) but don't have time to post any as I'm leaving in a few minutes.

It's in Victoria Park (same place the HK Democracy marches started!) and it's a nice atmosphere. Some of our friends have put up a teepee and are having drumming sessions by the teepee.

It's a first for HK to have a festival!! It's a shame Chris W was working or we'd also be playing but it's kind of nice just turning up without any stuff and lying on the grass or dancing to the bands. I could get used to this!! :banana

I'll tell you more tonight when I get back! wheeeeeeeeeeeee

Alright! Sounds like you had a blast of a time!

I just realised earlier when I was talking to a friend about it - it's the FIRST time Hong Kong has ever had a festival. And the organisers did a great job. The weather was fantastic and Victoria Park is a great location.

If Hong Kong has more of these, then there is hope that we will be saved from the horrid slow torture of "Canto-pop" :eek

Photos to come in the morning. It was deemed a success by the organisers and the Press so I guess there WILL be a next year.

It cost HK$120/day (US$15 ~ 13 Euros) and the food & drink was very reasonable inside. IT was 2 glorious days. :banana
