CHRIS “B” BOWERS

Music promoter and founder of The Underground HK and FWD Mellow Yellow Music Festival

“All these months of closures and the banning of live music mean we are in a much more desperate situation, and unfortunately the end is not yet in sight. But I am an optimist as I think in many ways people have realised even more that they need great songs to cope with life. And that there are, in fact, more people looking for music, songs and bands to connect with online. Some of the songs I’ve listened to and music videos I’ve seen in the last few months by Hong Kong musicians and bands are testament to how many passionately creative individuals there are in this city.”
