After the jazz jam a Bangkok premier screening of the concert film “ONE NIGHT IN PHUKET” – featuring performances by JIMMY FAME, COLIN HILL, JEFFREY SEVILLE , PATRICK CHUA & many more of the island’s best musicians. The Rotary sponsored event took place last July at the New Roadhouse, Karon Beach.

Jimmy Fame is also known as the author Jim Newport when he wears his writing hat. Jim is the author of the popular Siam Vampire series.You can check out his author page here.

.

After the film you can check out the Chris Coles art exhibit, which may or may not become a permanent fixture. It’s quite a spectacle and not to missed.

You can read Paul Dorsey’s review of the Coles exhibition in the Nation here: 

Blues man Jimmy Fame

If you cannot make it early come at 9:00 pm and catch Keith Nolan’s Cottonmouth. There a rumors that Jimmy may jam with Keith and company for a song or three.

If you are looking for a good time this weekend work Checkinn99 into your rotation. There is something for everybody. It explains to me why the hardest working publican in Bangkok and a great friend of the art scene can be found taking a well deserved power nap at the back lounge between the constantly changing events.

Checkinn99’s Chris Catto-Smith flanked by portraits of noir poet John Gartland and author Christopher G. Moore by the artist Chris Coles as he grabs a well-earned power nap. A portrait of the late Mama Noi is shown above the plush red couch.

So there you have it: Rock This Way, Sunday Jazz, a film premier of Jimmy Fame and Friends with MC and blues singer Jimmy Fame, Chris Coles art exhibit, Keith Nolan and Cottonmouth and a night of the Blues.  All in one weekend at the new and neon highlighted Checkinn99.
