China Crisis in Chesham

China Crisis are an English new wave and synth-pop band formed in 1979 in Kirkby, Merseyside, by Gary Daly and Eddie Lundon. They are known for songs including “Wishful Thinking,” “Christian,” “Black Man Ray” and “King in a Catholic Style,” as well as the albums Working with Fire and Steel and Flaunt the Imperfection, the latter produced by Walter Becker. The band’s 40th Anniversary Tour reached UK theatres in 2022 and revisited material from across its catalogue. China Crisis later marked four decades of Working with Fire and Steel in concerts centred on the album, led by Daly and Lundon. China Crisis has appeared repeatedly at Rewind Festival and at events in the Let’s Rock series.
