Since the formation of D'Spectacles in 1981, 2021 will be the 40th anniversary. The band has taken the opportunity to create a website which showcases the genesis of the band, the members and their journey with the activity footprints. The website is illustrated with plenty of photos and where available the recording of the audios and videos. While the quality of those materials is necessarily faded, traces of dedication and passion have been preserved. And we are leaving behind this legacy to whoever finds it interesting to read / listen / watch.
At the same time, D'Spectacles launched it's YouTube Channel with many of their previous audio and video recordings uploaded for memory.

With COVID-19 wreaking havoc for the whole year of 2020 and most music concerts are cancelled; HK Folk managed to pull off its annual event Folk Music Marathon with live streaming technology reaching out to even more audience. D’Spectacles will be adopting a new approach to perform online at this event. There are two songs that D’Spectacles has not been playing for a long, longtime and you will hear them in this concert. D’Spectacles will also take the opportunity of its 40th anniversary to deliver a special review of the journey of the Group. We look forward to seeing you there!

On 22nd January 2021, D’Spectacles took the opportunity of the special day of its 40th Anniversary to launch it Facebook page. D’Spectacles left its launch message on the Page as follows:
"Tonight" Was The Night, Today Is The Day.
"Tonight" was the night when D'Spectacles officially launched its name
The debut performance of Boat On The River that night was our first claim to fame
Today is the day for the band's 40th anniversary that we blessedly celebrate
It'll be a new experience to rediscover how history was made
And the rest of the journey is still unwritten..........

D’Spectacles is embarking on its journey to roll out original songs that have been composed by the Group over the years. The song has a folk style with a swing feel rhythm, featuring acoustic guitar and progressive vocal harmony arrangement and conveying positive energy through the high-impact lyrics. It has been quite a while since D’Spectacles last released a new song. <唱盡人心意> represents a new milestone reached in our music journey. We have accumulated over the past four decades our own music pieces and have decided to reactivate them and share with music lovers.
<唱盡人心意>
Music: Kenny Wong
Lyrics: Johnny Fong
Song Arrangement: Kenny Wong
