    The Wedding Present: Live in Bangkok

    in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

    Posted

    The Wedding Present will be playing at the brand new Speakerbox, Liberty Plaza Building, Khlong Tan Nuea, Bangkok on Monday 15th July.

    The "semi legendary UK indie band" are returning to Bangkok following their triumphant debut in the city last year. Support is from local favourites, Matthew Fischer and the Fishes.

    THE WEDDING PRESENT
    The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles… not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry’s game. It all started in 1985 when David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in Yorkshire with 500 records packed into a pair of his mother’s suitcases and, in this fashion, delivered the band’s debut single, ‘Go Out And Get 'Em, Boy!’ to a distribution company in London. That pioneering spirit has been at the core of the band’s philosophy ever since.

    From ‘George Best’, the first full-length release on their own Reception Records onwards, the band has charted an appealing, if often eccentric, course of its very own, acquiring a reputation for bittersweet, breathtakingly honest love songs immersed in whirlwind guitars.

    The band is making a welcome return to Bangkok, following last year’s triumphant debut in the city, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their sophomore lp, the incendiary ‘BIZARRO’, which featured their first hit single ‘Kennedy’.

    Havent listened to anything newer than Watusi. Be gutted if I went and they didn’t play the old stuff.

    Ha, ha!

     

    I'm sure they'll play a lot of the old stuff. When I went to see Buzzcocks a few years ago, their set was virtually all pre-1980 songs.

    Elvis P - now thats a legend !

     

    Hit Parade 1 was more of a marketing gimmic.

     

    I've seen Gedge about 10 times over the years and he always plays a great gig - this night should not be missed. They're also playing in HK.

    I guess it's all relative. They are legendary in terms of the independent music scene. :-)

     

    Yes. It promises to be a great gig. Definitely not to be missed!

    Saw them in the run-up to Xmas in the Uk and they were excellent (george best tour).

     

    'Legendary' might be overstating it a bit though.

    I read lots of good reviews from the George Best 30 tour.

     

    33 years and still going strong, plus the record for the most UK Top 40 hits in one year - along with Elvis Presley - probably earns them legendary status. ;-)

    Even though this event will be in the capital, I guess it still might be of interest to some in Pattaya.

     

    Legendary UK indie band The Wedding Present is coming to Bangkok. The record breaking group will play its first ever gig in Thailand at the Public Bar & Restaurant, on Thursday 19th April.

    First Game In Thailand

    in Football forum

    Posted

    #1 - What would be the better game to see (all in Bangkok):


    Army United vs. Buriram United


    Bangkok Glass vs. Osotspa


    Bankok United vs. Suphanburi


    Bangkok United vs. Chiang Rai



    Bangkok Utd v Suphanburi would be my choice from that list. However, the bottom fixture should read Chonburi v Chiang Rai Utd, which would come ahead of all the others. smile.png Chonburi Stadium is only one and a half hours from central Bangkok.



    #2 - Do I need to buy tickets, or just show up at the stadium?


    If need to buy tickets, then where?


    If just show up at stadium, then when?



    You will be OK just turning up at the stadium. Aim to get there an hour or so before kick off to soak up the pre match atmosphere.



    #3 - Violence, Tense Moments, Safety: assuming I'm a jolly fellow who is not the least bit interested in getting in a fight, should I be concerned about the safety of myself and father?



    You will be fine at all those fixtures.



    #4 - Anyone going to have a problem with my dad wearing a Rangers shirt?



    None at all. Fans turn up in all sorts of football shirts.



    #5 - I find this article to be highly informative, but any other essential information we should know?



    The refs can be erratic - to say the least - and some of the diving/play acting grates but overall, you should enjoy the experience.



    You're more than welcome to visit my website http://www.clubwebsite.co.uk/chonburifc/113109/Home There are lots of interviews with fans, coaches, players and chairmen from various Thai clubs and hopefully you should find it a useful source of information.



    Hope that helps

    Had a great time at the football yesterday

    Number 10 for Thai Port FC looks very good

    Does anyone know how you go about buying tickets for away games?

    At most grounds you can just turn up on the day. You'll probably only need to buy in advance for the matches at Bangkok Glass and Muang Thong Utd. The Thai football press usually have details. Also, I'm sure Port's new owners will make sure this information is posted on the club's official website.

    I can't find any Thai Port FC website

    Found a English Facebook page thou smile.png

    The official Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/PortFCteam

    Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    No. It's a direct link to the TPL grounds map. Have you tried again?

    Strange that Mauthong UTD v Buriram is not on TV

    Was hoping to watch that before heading down to Thai Port for the first game of the season.

    I believe it was shown on - TrueSport HD3 (668), True4U (2)

    Yes. It was on both of those channels.

    You didn't really miss much. The first half was particularly poor. Things improved in the second period but it still didn't live up to its pre match billing.
