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
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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!!!
