Mystery is a progressive rock band from Montreal and one of the most popular and respected prog rock bands in the world. The core of the band is guitarist, songwriter and producer Michel St-Père and singer Jean Pageau, whose voice perfectly matches the grandeur of Mystery's music. Think of a mix of Arena, Yes, Styx and Journey.
Mystery has built a loyal fan base, partly due to their stunning live shows. In 2023 their 8th album, Redemption was released. This album is once again an album with well-produced neo-prog with grandeur as we have come to expect from the band.
China Crisis is a British electro-pop group formed in 1979 in Liverpool, England by singer/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. The band scored their biggest hit in the Netherlands with the song Wishful Thinking. The band’s third album, Flaunt the Imperfection, produced by Walter Becker (Steely Dan) includes the hit Black Man Ray is a true classic of the period. With a combination of truly engaging music, a good bit of humor. Their live performances are truly must-see.

Steve Hackett: ‘The Watch is a band of very talented people and I recommend them.’
