Wong Yiu-ming and Lau Yee-tat . . . what a talented pair, what a comeback, but what are these boys wearing? Having recently got back together after their split in the early 1990s, pop duo Tat Ming Pair bounced back to greet their eager fans in fashionable style.

Their Long Live Concert celebrated their on-off partnership over the last decade.

While Lau wore his hair in dreadlocks (or was it a wig?), Wong dyed his red and put on a pair of pointed ears to give him an elf-like appearance.

And having put on their top hats, long coats and pyjama-like outfits, the duo were ready to party and rock - and 10 minutes into the show so were the audience.

Though Tat Ming Pair have been called the Hong Kong Pet Shop Boys, their bizarre and camp choice of clothes is perhaps as far as their resemblance to the British electro-pop group goes. Their music relies much more on the electric guitar than keyboard.

The pair chose several of their hits from the late 1980s to open their show on the final night. That was quickly followed by Enchanted Millions from their latest album.
