BRITAIN may host more tours by Canto-pop stars after the huge success of concerts by Jacky Cheung Hok-yau.

He attracted a total of around 10,000 fans to concerts at Wembley in London and Manchester last weekend.

Now Hong Kong-born organiser Tony Man hopes to bring more stars to Britain, including Andy Lau Tak-wah, Leon Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok Fu-shing.

'The concerts were absolutely wonderful.

'I have been living in Britain since 1965 and it was the first time I realised that the Chinese community here has a younger generation so warm and passionate about a star like Jacky.' Tickets, mainly mailed out to the widespread Hong Kong Chinese across England, Scotland and Wales, sold for between $420 and $610.

Nearly all those attending were of ethnic Chinese origin and the performances received little press coverage.
