China Crisis - Wishful Thinking - Live | Signature Live Sessions

Watch Liverpool band China Crisis perform ‘Wishful Thinking’ in an exclusive live gig at The Shankly Hotel for Signature Live Sessions

Hailing from Kirkby, China Crisis formed in 1979. Alongside the likes of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Echo and the Bunnymen and Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the duo became part of a new wave of Liverpool acts that achieved global success in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The core members - Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon - achieved five UK Top 40 Singles and three Top 40 albums, with hits including ‘Wishful Thinking’, ‘Christian’ and ‘Black Man Ray’. Their song ‘Working with Fire and Steel’ became a surprise success in Australia in 1983.

A number of musicians have past through the ranks of the band, including drummer and percussionist Dave Reilly and bass guitarist Gary ‘Gazza’ Johnson, but today the only active members remain the original duo.

‘Wishful Thinking’ was released as the third single from their 1983 album ‘Working with Fire and Steel - Possible Pop Songs Volume Two’.
