Chinese New Year, Hong Kong 2008

After performances in 2001 and 2003, Itchy Feet were invited once again by the Hong Kong Tourism Board to perform in the annual Chinese New Year Night Parade.  The band, along with six extra musicians, three dancing kangaroos and a troupe of fifteen dancing rats boarded a flight and took to the sky.

The week-long stay in Kowloon was filled with a number of appearances, including a performance along the waterfront looking out over the water to Hong Kong Island.  The highlight was the performance in the night parade which is televised live through Asia and across the Internet and which attracts an audience of thousands.  The parade route stretched for two kilometres through Kowloon, and with the diverse performance Itchy Feet once again proved they are very flexible and full of life.
