A Triple Eight Project:  Smokie - The Visit to Beijing

Triple Eight initiated the venture with promoting the long established band, Smokie in China. Smokie famous for their single 'Living Next Door to Alice' was now willing to set foot into China. For a start they produced a new Chinese Single 'Nan Li Wan' (sung in Chinese). This was both promoted in China and performed on Yorkshire Television (GRANADA). With this great new hit and other classic rock titles, they now prepared to hold a gig in Beijing. The gig was followed by Yorkshire Television to produce a series of televised programmes about Smokie on Tour. The televised programme was shown on prime time TV across Yorkshire and other parts of the UK. The organisation of utilising both British and Chinese production team has brought success to the whole package of promoting Smokie, Triple Eight allowed the performance of British Music into China to be triumphant. The Beijing concerts were a huge success and the song 'Nan Li Wan' proved a real hit.
