X Simple Minds and China Crisis: 80s Nostalgia

X Simple Minds and China Crisis provided the nostalgia at Singapore Hard Rock Cafe at Sentosa Resorts World.  A modest crowd turned up and enjoyed the concert.

First act to appear on stage was X Simple Minds, featuring founding members Derek Forbes and Brian McGee.   The crowd had a good time listening to the band hits for about 45 minutes.   Of course, the crowd was excited when "Don't you (forget about me) and "Alive and Kicking" were played".








After a short break, China Crisis came up and played for an hour. 

Good to hear Black Man Ray live...

Too bad it had to end at about 10-ish as I believe the organiser did not want to disturb the hotel guests nearby.

Till next time...
