The 1980s were vibrant and transformative times for Hong Kong music, marked by the rise of Cantopop, a unique genre blending elements of Western pop music and Cantonese lyrics.

Amidst the rising stars, Beyond stood out with their rock-infused sound, versatile style, and socially conscious lyrics.

Join us to celebrate Beyond’s legacy on the evening of 14th July, Sunday. We are excited to have a founding member of the band, Mr William Tang, performing classic hits with locally-based Hongkonger band, GEN03.

You’re invited (but not required) to come in your 80s-inspired outfits; vintage shirts, denim jeans, oversized blazers, polka dot dresses are all welcome to bring back vibes of the remarkable era.???✨

(English version below)
八十年代是香港，亦是香港流行音樂的黃金時代。粵語歌曲的興起，別樹一格的西曲中詞為香港，華語以至整個亞洲樂壇掀起一股新浪潮。

在香港樂壇眾多耀眼的新星中，Beyond 憑藉其搖滾，百變的曲風和具有社會意識，人文情懷的歌詞脫穎而出，成為至今仍被傳頌的一代巨星。

誠邀您在7月14日星期日晚上與我們見證Beyond的傳奇之路。我們很榮幸邀請到樂隊創始成員之一的William Tang先生，與本地樂隊GEN03一起演繹Beyond的經典歌曲。

歡迎您（但不強制）當日穿上八十年代懷舊風服裝來參加，如復古襯衫、牛仔褲、寬鬆西裝外套、波點連衣裙等，懷緬昔日光輝歲月。???✨

歲月無聲，希望能在7月14日見到大家，在摩登時代的現代舞台追憶逝去日子，不見不散。

Joint Notice regarding Organisational Abbreviations “HKCC”

Since the establishment of the new organisation "Manchester HongKonger Community Center," “Hong Kong Cultural Community CIC" has received enquiries about the relationship between the two organisations.

In light of our discussions, we would like to clarify the following:
⚠️ "Hong Kong Cultural Community" and "Manchester HongKonger Community Center" are different organisations and are independent of each other.

Such confusion may arise because of the similarity of the English abbreviations which include the letters "HKCC". Therefore, "Manchester HongKonger Community Center" will use its full name in all feasible circumstances to avoid further confusion.

We hope the two organisations will establish good connections and hence continue to strengthen the power of the Hong Kong civil society. Here is an introduction to both organisations:

⭐️ Hong Kong Cultural Community CIC

Hong Kong Cultural Community CIC was established in early 2021 by a group of newly arrived Hongkongers in the UK and has been serving the community in Greater Manchester for several years. As a non-profit organisation, "Hong Kong Cultural Community" is dedicated to promoting Hong Kong culture in Greater Manchester, organising events to connect locals with Hongkongers, and helping Hongkongers integrate into British society.

In the past, Hong Kong Cultural Community CIC has organised various cultural activities, including the Manchester Hong Kong Film Festival, art exhibitions, language exchange programmes, cooking exchange, mahjong competition, a cultural column about Hong Kong and community film screenings. Hong Kong Volunteers of Manchester is the subsidiary organisation of Hong Kong Cultural Community, contributing to the local community through activities such as community art in the park we take care of, urban greening, canal cleaning, street cleaning, and visits to care homes. Through these activities Hong Kong Cultural Community has established strong relationships with government departments, other Hong Kong organisations, and local community groups.

⭐️ Manchester HongKonger Community Center

Manchester Hongkonger Community Centre is one of the branches in the UK of the international organisation, Hongkonger Community Centre. The Hongkonger Community Centre has established 19 centers in various cities across five countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. The Manchester center is the third "Hongkonger Community Centre" in the UK, following Reading and Exeter. By providing a gathering place enriched with cultural, recreational, and interactive events, the center helps Hong Kong immigrants and residents to connect. It also hopes to attract people of different ethnicities to participate and promote integration.

《香港文化社與曼城香港人社區中心關於組織簡稱的聯合公告》

隨著新組織「曼城香港人社區中心 Manchester HongKonger Community Center」成立，「香港文化社 Hong Kong Cultural Community CIC」就兩個組織是否相關收到不少查詢。

經兩個組織商議後，我們決定向大家澄清：
⚠️ 「香港文化社」與「曼城香港人社區中心」並非同一組織，亦互不從屬。

大家之所以有這樣的疑問，或因為兩個組織的英文簡稱相似，並包含「HKCC」字樣。因此「曼城香港人社區中心 Manchester HongKonger Community Center」將於所有可行的情況下，使用上述名稱的全寫，避免再引起混淆。

我們期望兩組織建立良好互動，壯大香港人組織力量。以下介紹一下兩個組織 -

⭐️ 香港文化社Hong Kong Cultural Community

香港文化社於2021年初由一班新移居英國的香港人創立，已扎根於大曼城為社區提供服務數載。「香港文化社」為非牟利組織，致力於大曼徹斯特推廣香港文化，舉辦活動連繫本地人與香港人，促進香港人融入英國社會。

過往「香港文化社」舉辦了各種文化活動，包括曼城香港電影節、藝術展覽、語言交流計劃、烹飪外交、麻雀比賽、思香文化專欄以及社區電影放映。「曼城義工隊」亦為「香港文化社」的一部分，透過公園藝術創作、城市綠化、清理運河、街道清潔、探訪養老院等方式，為本地社區作出貢獻，並與政府部門、各香港人組織及本地社區團體建立了穩固的合作關係。
