Jamie O’ in Phuket
It’s one of those places where the nightlife is exciting and fascinating, offering something for everyone, and for every taste. There are some wilder sides to the place, with places to watch people in cages beat each other up, as well as other older professions, and there are also some of the most lively upscale dance clubs in the country. There are many different sides to Phuket, however, and it’s possible to visit here and never even notice most of these sides. If you come looking for family friendly entertainment and attractions, you’ll certainly find it. If you’re looking to spend a weekend or a week in pure beach luxury, Phuket hotels can offer a sense of the sublime, and you’ll never have to see any of the city at all.
The beaches here are awfully lovely, and wherever you go, the food is the most heavenly-spiced cuisine on the earth. There are some really interesting local scenes, with art and live music, and different kinds of performance that speak to Thailand’s long traditions in multiple art forms, as well as splendid entertainment that the ex-patriate community is often engaged in. Of this last scene, Jamie O’ is a splendid example, and his life demonstrates how an artist’s life can work when it’s based on so much chance and luck. The talent is often irrelevant, although in this case he has plenty of it, but it often is a question of being at the right place at the right time.
Whether or not that’s true for him is a good question, because it seems as though the young singer-songwriter from Scarborough was following inspiration and impulse, and was also extremely resourceful. He plays acoustic music in town, and also works as a DJ, under the name DJme, and is also one of the big forces behind Wave Entertainment. Through this company he works with the hospitality industry in booking live music acts, among many other things. It’s a splendid way to make a living while playing live music, and learning about all the things that unwind before you when making up a life in a splendid place, with splendid talent.
