‘Gran Turismo’ revs up tale of gamer to real-life racing driver
‘Gran Turismo’ revs up tale of gamer to real-life racing driver
Saturday 19 August 2023 11:00 AM
Hold the award for most surprising film of 2023 because ‘Gran Turismo’ just took a huge lunge for the chequered flag. You could be forgiven that this would be just a big, dumb action film based on a video game. Certainly, many won’t expect for this to be a film that goes deep into human emotion about achieving your dreams or looking at the psyche that it takes to be a car racer… yet that is exactly what the film manages to do.
Farewell the FUZZtonez!
Farewell the FUZZtonez!
Sunday 2 July 2023 11:00 AM
I was sad to see an advert for a farewell gig by popular Phuket rock band The FUZZtonez at The Grapevine in Cherng Talay. Sad, as it billed them as “hanging up their guitar straps and putting away their plectrums”. Sad, but not surprised, for Alf Hodges, their legendary frontman and local school teacher, is a good friend of mine, and I knew he had plans to retire sometime soon to the far north of Thailand where his wife’s family reside.

Sunday 5 March 2023 11:00 AM
After an outstanding eight years hosting Good Morning Phuket on Live 89.5 FM, we must bid farewell to Chris Howson. At the end of February 2023 the voice that has kept us entertained on our morning drive to the office departed the Phuket airwaves, to further his career and not have to wake up at 4am every day to host a breakfast radio show. His replacement is a familiar face and voice to all of us in Phuket, JP Mestanza.

Phuket Music Scene: Time to take the Thai alternative?
Sunday 12 February 2023 11:00 AM
Musicians who have worked here a while have told me that it’s getting harder for bands playing Western cover songs to find gigs. Why might this be? Is it because there are too many bands? Not enough tourists perhaps? Maybe there is another reason…

When I go home to the UK, I am amazed to see so much musical creativity, with ordinary pub bands sometimes playing more of their own songs than covers. Such creativity has served us well, producing the best pop group in the world (The Beatles), the finest rock group (Led Zeppelin) and the world’s most creative solo artist (David Bowie). It is an astonishing achievement for a country of just 60 million.

Sunday 11 December 2022 11:00 AM
Phuket’s annual International Jazz festival used to take place every April outside Music Matters Jazz Bar in Chana Charoen Rd in Phuket Town until COVID struck. Started in 2012 by Filipino Jazz pianist Jeffery Sevilla, we saw Jazz musicians jetted in from the Philippines, Indonesia and even the far-off UK. Over a thousand Jazz lovers visited the festival in 2018 before it tragically had to stop as a result of the pandemic.
Bridging the comedy divide
Bridging the comedy divide
Sunday 2 October 2022 11:00 AM
Western comedians today just love identity politics, their jokes reflecting what they identify as – black, gay, transexual, feminist and so on. They also seem almost invariably left wing politically, with Boris Johnson, Tony Abbott and Donald Trump preferred targets.

Phuket Music Scene: Rocking in Phuket, Thai style
Sunday 10 July 2022 01:57 PM
I’m sometimes asked about the best places to go to listen to Thai music, to which I reply, “What kind of Thai music?” For, as in Western music, there is a variety of genres including pop, country, protest, rock, Isan and Northern music.
