koh samui music festival
The festival was tremendous. I went to almost every show every day. Some of the older bands really impressed me. I was completely blown away by Big Brother and The Holding Company. All the performances were great ezcept maybe Junkie Brewster which i found very amusing for the first 10 minutes, but after that just couldn't stand the noise. Jools Holland was a bit too Las Vegas show bandy for me. The best performances by far were from local acts Modern Dog and flow, who Big Brother and the Holding Company publically endorsed from the stage as the band who rocked the festival. The Wailers were just awesome as can be expected, the new singer fitting into Bob's shoes comfortably. UB40 was ok, a bit too pop for me. Sakiya ****** of course had everyone in the palm of her hand before she even opened her mouth. Zero Jam were really exciting musically. I hope next year the PR and advertising gets out so that people know about the festival and the crowds are complimentary to this truly world class event.
