Chiang Khong has another mini music fest on Saturday 25th February by the river outside the Fortune Hotel.
There are 3 "bands" playing, and one of those will be Miss Eve & Fluke who play at Okane's pub in Chiang Rai on Thursday nights.

Eve is a great little singer, with a wonderful smooth voice, sings well in English & can interact with her audience.
She's a little gem & will be well worth catching singing by the Mekong.

If you hang out in Chiang Rai at Okane's Irish Pub on Thursdays, or at the Peace Bar or the Spinomad, you will know what a fantastic soulful voice Eve has.

A brief update.
Many thanks to the guys who turned up for a fantastic night on the Mekong listening to some good music.
Ample beers & stories went down before the end of the night & I was pleased to get home safely @ 2AM, from Chiang Roy Pub, to leave a couple of night owls at it until 4AM. Welcome to Chiang Khong Koen & Alex, you fit right in & enjoyed yourselves.

I don't have a lot of pics to share as I was heavily involved in organizing the music festival event held at the same time, but would like to sincerely thank the few guys who came along for the night.
Dave DKT & Ning.
Hawk.
Alex.
Brian Sage.
Koen.
Derrick.
It was a damn good relaxing night.

My pics from the music event.

The stage location on the river front outside the Fortune Hotel.

The seating area in the cool shade outside the Fortune & close by to the beer stall, food & toilets. All very convenient.

Dave DKT tasting his first big beer Lao. I got a couple of cases in for the night 1 for the singer Ms Eve & 1 for personal consumption.
It is amazing the difference in the flavour between Beer Lao in big bottles & Beer Lao in small bottles / cans. Big bottles are a total winner everytime, & small ones are disappointing in a direct comparison; but for most people if you can only get small ones.

The 2 singing stars of the night were Xaria & Eve

Xaria is a professional Filipino singer, who sang in Bkk @ the Sheraton & Marriot hotels for years, lost her singing job due to covid a couple of years ago and ended up in CL teaching English.

They both delighted the audience with their singing,

Fluke is an excellent guitarist with good feeling & touch. For the Chiang Mai guys he has often played with Chiang Mai Blues when in Chiang Mai.

With the "new" Nai Amphur (district cheif / administrator) of Chiang Khong district.
He was sufficiently impressed with the music night to approve a full-on big event the same as the original Chiang Khong Music Festival we organized before pre-covid.

The plan...
1. Jazz Band.
1. Blues Band.
1. Rock band (Midnight Ramblers.)
1. Lao band TBC.

On another note, I will try again to organize a GTR Takhong Sunset Dinner with Ms Eve & Fluke to entertain us under a Takhong Sunset.

It will only happen if there's enough support from guys to enjoy & share the night with @Takhong.

More than likely it will be on a Saturday night, with Eve & Fluke performing 45 minutes before & 45 minutes after sunset.
Stay tuned & TQ everyone for your support in advance. Let's do it!
