naughtydog-bkk 731 #3 Posted April 4, 2019 Exceptionally good Australian guitarist. Mostly acoustic: 1 taaseesanuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taaseesanuk 2,991 #4 Posted April 4, 2019 I am sure he knows his trade, but whenever I think of an Australian guitarist the legend that is Angus Young will always be my first thought. 2 Markm and Thanks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodrigo 1,014 #5 Posted April 4, 2019 I would say he is among the top acoustic guitarists around. The tickets seems to have been sold out so I wonder who has bought them? Not really the kind of musician the Thai people would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you'd be surprised, Bangkok Thais are big fans of this type of music and many thai restaurants have solo acts similar to him playing over meals/drinks. Isaan/Laos country music you may be more familiar with because many ladyboys from upcountry tend to like it and blare it from their phones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
