Just been out and bought the last of the lucky number prizes so we're all ready to go. Hopefully it will be a good night. See you there.

What are you on about? We buy gifts like toys and electrical appliances etc and there are free tickets given to the CUSTOMER when the CUSTOMER orders a drink so when the draws are done its the CUSTOMERS ticket that wins therefore the CUSTOMER gets the prize, staff get NOTHING. Where is the Total Hypocrisy 100% in that? The staff lucky draws get done when blues factory has its staff party when the bar closes and no customers are involved. PS please don't fuck my thread up!

Sorry mate I had no choice, the music festival will fuck walking st up for that weekend, it will be full of Thai teens and gangs etc.

Due to the Pattaya Music Festival starting on the 19th i've delayed the party a week so it will now be held on the Friday 26th March. Hope to see you there. DT.

Tonights the night! off for the sound check now. Hope to see you there. :)

On Friday 19th March the Blues Factory will be celebrating its 9th year anniversary so we will be holding a bit of a party in the club! There will of course be 2 live bands featuring - "The Blues Machine" featuring Snowman and Mary and "The Rock Machine" featuring Pattaya's hottest new guitarist "Nueng" and of course our resident superstar The “Guitar King” of Thailand Lam Morrison. I am also pleased to have a selection of guest artists who will be joining the bands on stage including some famous well known Thai musicians and a few local faces who in their own right are all recording artists

Just been chatting with one of the Guy's who organized the Burapa event and The New Machine Band want to do this gig before they go back to the UK but they want to do it for charity, as I won't allow tickets to be sold for events like this there will be a donation box in front of the stage, so basically if you liked their set it would be great if people could make a small donation. Blues Factory will also contribute and the proceeds will be split between the Camillian Centre and The Mercy Centre. cheers DT.

Its all happened a bit to quick too be honest, they go back to the UK on the 25th so I squeezed them in at the end.

The Blues Factory is proud to announce that "The New Machine" Pink Floyd tribute band from the UK will be performing their Pink Floyd tribute show live on our stage on Wednesday 24th February. This is the band that HEADLINED this years Burapa bike weekend here in Pattaya last Friday and Saturday where they rocked the place. Also on the night Lam Morrison and The Rock Machine will be playing. I am still in talks but the night will also be used to help a local wothwhile charity. Doors open at 9pm with live music from 10pm. No cover charge. www.thenewmachine.co.uk Myspace see you there.

Wouldn't be surprised mate as its nice round there, My wifes got land in Ban Chang at about 1 million per Rai.

Thanks very everyone who came, estimates at the moment are that they raised about 70000bht but Mary has plans to increase it so both Father Rays Foundation and The Mercy Centre get half each.

The Owner of Silverlake was in the bar last night, they have now changed the advertising and the concert will be in aid of the people of Haiti. Gray Grayson was in the bar jamming last night and was awesome so it should be a good concert. Remember tickets are available in the Blues Factory.

Tonight's the night. Tickets 250bht each with proceeds going to the mentioned charities, the prizes up for grabs total 100000bht including dinner at Casa Pascals, dinner and room vouchers at various top hotels, jewelery, designer clothes and booze.

Fair enough mate, I'm genuinely sorry if I appeared rude, came at a wrong time as from what I'd heard the guys did a great job in Taipei and Taiwan and were very entertaining and also really nice guys and I felt sorry for them as they had quite a few gigs both here in Pattaya and in Bangkok.

Of course people are entitled to their opinion and as you can see I aired mine. Normally I wouldn't but it was a rude comment in my opinion about a band that were going to perform in my bar and unfortunately one of them has caught a non drug related virus and is very sick. Not the perfect time IMO to post a sarcastic comment. I think my Father wouldn't have been as polite.

Ian the bass player emailed me last night, they are taking Tim (the sick guy) back to the UK, all dates are off. Shame but they said they would love to do it again later in the year. This is the mail I got on Facebook.-

Your not wrong about Lam mate, I've managed to get him to start on time at 1230am on Saturdays etc but Wednesdays should be 1130 but he still creeps in at 12.

Cheers mate.

Why bother to post as your opinion doesn't really mean that much to me especially when they're traveling around Asia doing what they love AND getting paid for it?

Unfortunately one of the Goobergun members has fallen ill whilst on tour so they will have to return to the UK so I'm sorry to say that the Blues Factory gig has been postponed. Nevertheless later in the year we hope to see them again in Thailand and play in the bar as well as other venues. Thanks David. :)

On behalf of Mary in The Blues Factory I'd like to inform everyone of her charity birthday party. On monday 1st February she will holding her party in The Blues Factory. There will be a free buffet, raffles, Fashion show and auction and of course music by Mary, Snowman and The Blues Machine. All proceeds from the Raffle Ticket sales will be going to The Mercy Centre and Father Rays Foundation. Last year she handed over 60000bht to the Mercy Center so lets hope this year we can beat that amount. cheers DT.

This February 6th the Silverlake Vineyard and amphitheatre will be holding a special concert. Blues man Gray Grayson from Texas USA and a special line up of blues musicians will be performing in their outdoor Amphitheatre. Along with that The Blues Factory's Blues Machine and also the "Guitar King of Thailand" Lam Morrison will be playing with The Rock Machine and also there will be special appearences by Thailand's famous Olarn Project and Kitti "Guitar" Gun. Gates open at 530pm with tickets available from thaiticket major, on the door and at The Blues Factory.

Tonight's the night! Hopefully see you there.
