PRIM China Tour 2019
Me and my PRIM band mates had a wonderful China Tour 2019. We enjoyed traveling through this interesting, also very contrasting, country and seeing several cities (Beijing, Changsha, Ningbo). In addition, we had an involved audience at every concert and were very warmly received. Will love to do this again! Thank you at this point to Jincan "69" and our agency "DDL (Dusk Dawn Label)" for the organization. I would also like to thank the Austrian Cultural Forum Beijing for their support.
