The Band I have played in most of my life was called the "Kontinentals"
We began life in Hong Kong in the 60's and once in a blue moon we come alive
and strike (ala The Commitments) then fade back into the shadows. I currently
write and record alone..with inspirations from young love and the magic of Hong Kong
Why this name?
My Great Great grandfather was Sir Henry Cohen, so I took on his last
name for my original song recording as well as my screen plays, my real last name is Christian...
quite a swap!!!eh?
Do you play live?
We, as the Kontinentals play once every 20 years it turns out, but smaller versions
of the original band play about twice a year at private functions..its a lot of fun.
One very special moment was playing for 250 friends at a HK reunion in Sept 08..
What a rush!!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yes it does, I miss the vinyl days and the Jacket art and holding the record in your
hands, feeling the music before you heard it...very special
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes
Your influences?
The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Mark Knoffler, Elton John, Mozart,
