That place is old. I took the companies head secretary there about 37 years ago. Good food , good music , good ambience. 

Swept off her feet she was. Luckily , there was a mattress to fall back on.

 

PS 37 years ago seems like only yesterday to me. Recent.

Saxophone Pub& Restaurant - Siam Hop

 

Appears to be still going. They even have an app.

Honestly I cannot, there were so many good bands and singers.

 

They regularly had a guy who sang George Benson covers who I particularly enjoyed.

 

I used to regularly go there from about 2000, when I lived close by. Later on when I visited Bangkok, I always stayed close by.

 

Great venue, great music, lots of interesting people.

First went to Saxophone in 2000 and have had some great nights there. Most of the musicians and bands are really talented. Always a great vibe. Snack food ok too.

Glad to hear it is still going. 15 years ago there used to be a lot more jazz bars than there are these days, despite there being a surprising number of good jazz players here. We need more places like this.

Won't go to racing or footy- a wise woman.

A very long time ago I had the pleasure of listening to a Dixie jazz band in Bkk. No idea if still going but from their age then I doubt it.

Something to do once to get a feel of Australia and Australians. Like seeing Split Enz or the Chills back in the day or going to see the boiling mud in New Zealand. 

Splkt Enz are Kiwis

I never said that so stop making it up. I don't hate all the people, though I never could stand Split Enz.

They were fun in the early days.

Maybe. Late last night. Sweet dreams. Then Neil Finn came and they got a bit more commercial but were still pretty good. Crowded House were not my cup of tea.

Walking down the Road; Split Enz in the U.K. 1976 ...

Couldn't stand Crowded House either. I didn't even like most of the singers on Let's Go, especially Mr Lee Grant.

I do/ did ( died 20191 ) like Peter Posa though, so not a blanket dislike of all NZ singers/ bands.

I'm sure there must be others I liked, but can't remember off hand.
