Chris Wong

Last year found this Irish-Hong Kongese artist gigging at Dublin’s Crow Bar Terrace, St. Pancras Old Church London and the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival. Throw in a Christmas bash at the Sugar Club and a Bello Bar show to mark the release of his single ‘She Needs Time’, and Wong has had an action-packed 12 months. With ‘She Needs Time’ described in Hot Press as a winning mix of “glistening guitar riffs and funky bass lines”, the singer backed it up with another excellent effort in ‘She Stays West’ – before releasing  his latest single, 'When I Feel Your Love', in January.
