The Witness were the house band for the Brussels Rhythm and Blues Club from its foundation in 2002 until the untimely death of their extraordinary lead singer Thong Van Dang in August 2010. To paraphrase the Kinks' song Thong liked to sing, Thong was "Not like everybody else". Thong was much loved by his family and friends and is very sorely missed. We will never see the like of him again. For more details, please see http://www.xpats.com/arts/music/brussels-mourns-the-passing-of-a-music-legend
