911 to Bring Legend Status to Vietnam Festivals in UK

911 is an English pop boyband comprised of members Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable, and Spike Dawbarn. Founded in Glasgow in 1995, the band released their debut single “Night to Remember” in May 1996. The following year, their album The Journey achieved Gold certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

911 subsequently released two more albums, Moving On and There It Is, both of which achieved Silver certification in 1998 and 1999 respectively. Their hit song “There It Is” also reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in January 1999, as a cover of “A Little Bit More”.

In their five years together, 911 recorded 10 UK top 10 singles, selling 10 million singles and six million albums worldwide. They enjoyed tremendous popularity in Southeast Asia, with their first two albums reaching number one.

Last year, the boyband made their first appearance in Vietnam at the HAY Glamping Music Festival 2022. They performed their many hit songs, including “I Do,” “The Day We Found Love,” and “All I Want is You.” On their return to Vietnam, the famous boyband 911 is expected to be a highlight at the UK Festivals, which are part of the activities commemorating 50 years of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and the UK this year. The festivals will take place at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square in Hanoi on September 9-10 and at Le Loi Street in Ho Chi Minh City on September 16. Admission is free for the public.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract. However, due to a mismatch in playing style, Tiep terminated his contract with SHB Da Nang and reimbursed one year’s worth of the signing fee. According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
