The rockin’ sounds of Pastel
The rockin’ sounds of Pastel
Saturday 6 February 2021 11:00 AM
The Pastel Bar and restaurant in Phuket Town is on Phuket Rd, just 200 metres south of the clock at the Surin traffic circle. Only five metres wide, it’s not an easy bar to find, despite the shiny Harley-Davidsons you may see parked outside! When you do, you will find just inside a table and seats made out of the front of a Cadillac motor car. Nearby is a petrol pump and air supply pump as if from a 1950s American garage. A drum kit, PA and amplifiers stand ready for action and music videos play on TV screens around the bar.

Phuket Town’s evolving music scene
Sunday 10 January 2021 11:00 AM
I’ve lived in Phuket now for 10 years and seen many changes, but none as dramatic and sudden as those caused by COVID-19. Patong, Kamala, Kata and Karon once had thriving music scenes based on covering Western songs, but all that is postponed.

Buck to the drawing board Hollywood
Buck to the drawing board Hollywood
Saturday 29 February 2020 06:00 PM
If 2020 is remembered for anything in the world of cinema it will be as the year where Hollywood found it was not immune to outside influence. An actress lost a role because she was not transgender and an animated blue hedgehog was taken back to the drawing board all because of public backlash.

Spies in Disguise with ‘no egrets’
Spies in Disguise with ‘no egrets’
Saturday 18 January 2020 10:00 AM
A film where a super-hero turns into a pigeon shouldn’t work, no even the notion of such a film would probably have you laughing and wondering whether or not the film deserves to be placed in the same pile as the ridiculous Sharknado. But let the laughter subside because somehow Spies In Disguise not only works but is pure entertainment from start to finish.

Rise of the Skywalker will give you Palpa’tations
Saturday 28 December 2019 11:00 AM
It has taken 42 years to get there, but finally, the Skywalker saga is drawing to a close. No other cinematic franchise has ever reached the massive heights that Star Wars has and to say that this is a beloved series is under-selling it in a very big way. It is for that reason that J.J. Abrams has had one of the most difficult jobs that any filmmaker could ever dream of, it is up to him to close this much loved chapter in the Star Wars story in a way that will please a legion of fans world-wide.

Phuket band Fake Smiles to rock island with roaring second album
Sunday 21 July 2019 10:00 AM
Phuket’s music scene can leave a lot to be desired. Unless you’re a really big fan of The Cranberries’ Zombie – a staple of every cover band’s set list – or cheesy hotel entertainment, you might have to dig a little deeper for a truly memorable live experience or album. Phuket is, after all, a destination island and the music is in tune with that.

Mention ‘am-dram’ – or ‘ama­teur dramatics’ – and it’s not unusual to see people recoil, haunted by memo­ries of second-rate panto­mimes by inflated directors in need of a gentle reminder that they’re in a cold village hall in rural England, not the wings of a West End theatre.
