[mrbojangles]

one of the best live music venues in Patters.

Forum sponsors generally operate the best venues in town...

Perhaps this is why Crazy Dave is not a forum sponsor.

Lam Morrison left The Blues Factory 3 months ago.

It still rocks.

Yes he is playing in the Lam Morrison Rock Club from 12.30 ish onwards.

I took a group of visitors to hear him last week but the volume of the support band was so deafening that we left before he arrived.

It was only 11pm on a weekday night and nearly empty. The sound system is terrific but the operator seems to take no notice of the number of people present and their reaction to the volume.

I noticed he was wearing headphones in his control area. Perhaps he is isolated from the ear bursting shattering power of it all.

Lam also played very loudly at the Blues Factory but was part of his 'rock-n-roll' performance and you could shelter behind the other customers and soften the impact a bit. The acoustics at the Rock Club are like being in a steel drum when its empty.

(Yes. I know...I must be getting old!).

I've restarted this topic as I can't be arsed to open a new one.

There is a new edition to the Blues Machine band, Khun Oi who is an ex blues factory member has returned, most might recognise him from being the manager at the Great American rib company here in Pattaya for the past year.

Apart from him being an awesome drummer he is also an awesome singer with a very unique voice for a Thai guy.

He was the first Thai to ever play at the Montreux Jazz festival and he had also spent many years in Europe but mainly Switzerland but he started off here in Thailand playing for several popular groups including Lam Morrison mainy years ago but more recently he's been involved with Mojo's and Decibel in BKK.

Please pop in and support the band as I feel this will be a massive boost and a breath of fresh air to the bar.

More musician changes to come soon also.
