A Shining Star, Global Battle of the Bands
Chris Decamps of Shining Star performs in the Global Battle of the Bands outside Central World in Bangkok (behind the former Bangkok World Trade Centre) last Sunday, 13 November. However, as good as his band was, his band failed to make the final cut. This says a lot about the quality of the bands who will be vying on Sunday to win the title to represent Thailand in London.
