  • China Crisis és un grup anglès de música pop, format per Gary Daly i Edward Lundon, tots dos originaris de Kirkby. Al llarg de la seva existència han estat acompanyats per d'altres músics, però el seu nucli sempre ha estat el duet Daly/Lundon. El seu estil musical és proper a la New wave, amb lletres que ocasionalment incloïen comentaris sòcio-polítics. Les seves cançons més conegudes són "Christian", "Wishful thinking" i "Black Man Ray", aparegudes entre 1982 i 1985. Durant la gira de reunió dels Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, també de Liverpool, China Crisis van fer de teloners.
