Pop, along with Rick and Harpic, have been with us, the Jesters Care for Kids, from the very beginning back in 1998 at Delaney’s. They have been generous supporters throughout our history, most recently when they were part of a benefit concert at Leo Blues Bar for us after the fair rainout.
Now Pop needs our help, as he tries to raise money for his ailing wife. Donations and prizes to generate raffle ticket sales will be the main sources to raise money.
The Purple Space Money is located on Chaiyapruk Road in Jomtien Beach. Please see text below.
I hope to see you there too.

BENEFIT CONCERT FOR POP
Purple Space Monkey – Sunday 12th February (2:00pm to 9:00pm)
Whether you are a long term Pattaya resident or just visit here for your holidays every year, it is highly likely that at some stage you would have either been fortunate enough to witness Pop’s guitar playing, or will have heard about him. For those that have had the pleasure to speak with him you will know that he is one of the most genuine people you are ever likely to meet. He has always given his time to support fund raising events and as a lot of you know, has supported the Jesters Fair and Pub Night events for the last 12 years.
Unfortunately Pop’s wife was taken seriously ill on New Years Eve and was admitted to Hospital. More than a month later, although showing signs of improvement, she still remains in hospital requiring dialysis every two days.
The resulting hospital bills have obviously put a severe strain on Pop’s resources and he has had to sell or pawn many of his possessions to pay the bills.
Therefore having given his time and so much enjoyment through his music to us over the years I have organised a ‘Benefit Concert for Pop’ to be held at the Purple Space Monkey on Sunday 12th February starting at 2:00pm through to 9:00pm.
Pop himself will be playing with his band and the Band of Smiles during the event, but also a selection of well known Pattaya musicians and bands will also be making guest appearances.
The theme for the event will be “Woodstock” with all the bands appearing being asked to play at least one song that was played at the famous festival. People are encouraged to come dressed in a style suitable for the Woodstock era, so for most, that means just come as you are.
Obviously the idea of this function is to try and raise some money to help Pop cover the expenses he has incurred.
There will be donation boxes available on the day and a raffle plus chances for people to donate and get the bands to play the songs they want to hear.
Those not able to attend but would still like to make a donation can still do so through Kim Fletcher at ‘Jameson’s’ or Ruben at the ‘Purple Space Monkey’.
Every donation, how ever small, will be most gratefully received.

Pop's Festival Preview
Big weekend coming up. The Main Event which will dominate Pattaya this weekend is a Benefit Concert being held at the Purple Space Monkey at Jomtien on Sunday 12th February 2012. Pop has been a brilliant member of our community for many years, playing all over Pattaya and it's surrounding Planets stunning all of us with his amazing guitar playing. But it's all been far more than that, as well as being able to blow the Roofs off almost everywhere he plays (except when they don't have a roof!) his Guitar. It's his wonderful human nature that grabs you about Pop he one of the World's genuinely good blokes. Since we have all got involved in different Charities over the years (Pop was one of the Founders of the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drives). It is almost inevitable that at some point you will need Pop's expertise in one way or another and of course Pop is always there ready and willing to help (as long as you don't ring before 12 Midday!!) With that Big Grin on his Face, the answer is always Yes. With regard to me, Pop has played at Shenanigans, at Jameson's, The Ploenchit Fair, All of the Jester's Care4Kids Fairs, and Pub Nights (even the Gala Night). Again always with a smile on his face, and more than willing to help whether it be playing or setting up the back line always of course with his hoards of friends in tow always including the entire Bryant Family led by Rick and Harpic. Sadly now Pop has had a major trauma in his life with his wife being very ill. Pop has already sold everything he owns, but still money is needed to help Pop's Wife who is still not clear of the woods. So after Pop has helped us with every cause that we have asked him to, with great regret I have to tell you that Pop now needs our help. This Sunday the 12th February 2012 there will be a benefit Concert for Pop at the Purple Space Monkey starting at 2.00 p.m. Anybody who cannot make it can simply leave their donations at Jameson's where we will take it down to The Purple Space Monkey on Sunday or Find Rick or Harpic Bryant, or Deborah Philbrook and they can bring it down for you on Sunday. Transport down to the Purple Space Monkey will be laid on from Jameson's on Sunday, just make a booking with, Wanchai, Moo, Captain Steve Ponter, or myself.
Easily the best idea is to get there early as the good seats are at a Premium with such a great array of talent on stage. The Full line up is on this Diary an amazing show of on one hand solidarity by The Pattaya Community and on the other what a fantastic display of talent we have in the area, amazing. So you get a really good day out, and your doing a Good Man, and Friend a Favor. Perfect. For those of you that are here I shall see you down there on Sunday and for those of you that can't make it, I know you will be there in Spirit.
Of course there is also a lot going on at other times at Jameson's as well this weekend with the Six Nations Rugby Tournament hitting its second week. After quite a shabby start on Saturday, the Wales and Ireland game certainly improved things and let’s hope that the standard can be kept up throughout the Tournament. Please see our Sports Schedule for the time and day of the games.
There is of course a Full Football Schedule, as well as a Double Header of Cricket with a Live Game at Horseshoe Point on Saturday 11th between Pattaya Cricket Club and Richard Harvey's Cricket and Drinking Touring team. The Not The M.C.C. The Bar will open at 10.00 a.m. and the Cricket will start soon after.
Last weekend saw a rousing start to the Six Nations Rugby Tournament with all Six Nations well represented.
Sitting here after the Whirlwind that was Wednesday Night is a feat on it's own. Super Night amongst Friends that got slightly out of control, but in every good way with as you can see from the photograph's a lot of laughter.
Last week on Monday Captain Steve and a band of Cronies, got up at a very early hour in the morning to watch the American Superbowl, and almost drank us out of Bloody Mary's an event in itself.
The Landlord Kim Fletcher has been going up and down the roads again in a very necessary attempt to lose a bit of weight, but the listening has been good. Various albums that went through the headphones as the Landlord marched up and down the roads of Pattaya have been.
Ten Years After - Shhh. Classic Blues Rock.
Foghat - Live - Fabulous album to get the March going.
Deep Purple - Rapture of The Deep. Great Hard Rock album from the Purple Boys.
Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality with Bill Ward on Drums.
Quiet Riot - Metal Health. Can Ten million Americans be wrong?
Led Zeppelin - How the West Was Won. Just for the version of Dazed and Confused alone this is worth listening to, and the rest is Fantastic.
The Pirates - At the Beeb. Real Dirty Rock 'n' Roll with the wonderful Mick Green on Lead Guitar.
Spider - Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies. Twelve Bar Boogie.
Judas Priest - Ram It Down. Spectacular Metal from the Priest who will be appearing at Fort Canning, Singapore on February 20th. Captain Steve and the Landlord have booked Flights.
Mott the Hoople. Brain Capers. Proto Punk album
Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour. Probably his best Live album, but they are all great.
Saturday looks to be a pretty frantic day with First off Pattaya Cricket Club's attempts to out play and then out drink the Richard Harvey Not The M.C.C. Team at Horseshoe Point, followed by a mad dash back to Jameson's to watch the big game between Manchester United and Liverpool at 7.00 p.m. (If you are wondering how somebody like Landlord Kim Fletcher could know this is a Big game, the reason is that it's all anybody has been talking about around Nova Table for a week). This Football Game is then followed by England vs. Italy in the Six Nations Rugby Tournament at 10.00 p.m. For once the Masters of Sport on television not giving us a headache with a clash of games at the same time.
There is only one Rugby game on Saturday Night and One on Sunday as the France game in Paris plays out at 3.00 a.m. on Sunday Morning, a bit late for the Old Landlord's bones, especially with the big day on Sunday.
Whilst it's always great to see new people around it's also very sad to see people going again. Sadly Tony and Iris Ritchie have once again headed off to the land of Snow and Ice, along with the Stalker Mark. But we did get Hong Kong Ricky back and still have Just Frank for this weekend. (Moo always says "As Long As Frank Is Here Everything Is OK). But then it's always good to see the good Folk of Jameson's Richard and Maggie Waller Executive Chef Adrian from the Dusit Thani and his Posse of Chef's Jason, Peter and Kai. Brian Abbott our Captain of Football who is preparing the Team for a visit from the Australian Isle of the Western Royals 7's. Des from the round the corner Duck Bar and Coach of the Pattaya Panthers and of course Professor Jerry Stewart. Great to see Jools Stalwarts, Mark Woodroffe and Nick Freeman last weekend and leap year Birthday Boy John Kennedy. Captain Steve and Graham MacDonald should both be down with us for this weekend, so all is right with the World.
Wherever you are have a fabulous week, Rony, Kim, and Moo.

The Wildest Wednesday for quite a while. The Principal Culprits can be easily identifiable, Just Frank, Shaun Houlding, who as usual gathered most of the blame and started it all, Ray Campbell, Sorry Ken (First Night ever in Jameson's) and Landlord Kim Fletcher. The clever thing is, there was only one round of shooters bought and the rest is down to some very clever photography!!!!!! The Wee Scotsman managed to duck out early
QUOTE ~ Engelbert
Why do so many talk shows focus on the unspeakable? I would rather go to Jameson’s and focus on the speak able and have a few cold ones!
There is a light at the end of every tunnel….just pray it’s not a train!
It’s not cheating unless you get caught.
I don't pretend we have all the answers.
But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.
To disagree, one doesn't have to be disagreeable.
Cheer up, the worst is yet to come, unless you go to Jameson’s.
Avoid hangovers: stay drunk.

Guys
PCC have a fixture against Richard Harvey’s world famous touring team from Blighty, the ‘Not The MCC’, this Saturday at HSP starting at 11am in a 40 over match. The team, consisting of a mixture of 1st, 2nd and Thoroughbreds, is as follows:
Sensible Simon (Captain)
Bollywood Sunny (V/Captain)
Debt collector Usman
Caught mid off Debdas
Quick step Salman
I’m knackered Hansie
Boots Andy
Rob ‘not so’ Young
I am Earl
Joe ‘do as I say, not as I do, in fact I do nothing’ Grunwell (Team Manager – only for the day)
Elfrado ‘Slasher’ Roberts (Kit Manager – for the entire season)
12th Man: Father John G (provided his hamstrings have lengthened)
Umpires: Headmaster Roger & Kim ‘Trigger’ Fletcher
Scorer: Deb ‘Mim’ Philbrook
To ensure no one suffers heat stroke (Earl) the game will be played in a 20/20/20/20 format – all will be explained on the day.
Beer will be available at the incredibly low price of 50 baht a bottle and all profit will go to the Club, so drink heavily before, during and after the game.
Food will be provided by HSP.
RH will be bringing the bowling machine for those batsmen who need practice (that is everyone).
Those of you who are not playing please come down and support in what should be a very competitive, enjoyable and social days cricket.
