The Worldship
Orchestra are back in Phnom
Penh this week. The
opportunity to see a great orchestra play classical music does not
come around every week –
catch the ensemble at 6pm on Friday at Aeon
Mall.
Clay George
will return to the Black Pearl on Friday night to reprise his
excellent country band – comprising of the
estimable Phil Javelle
on keys, Lewis Pragasam on
drums and Steve Sutcliffe
on electric fiddle – with Clay heading-up
the group
on vocals and acoustic guitar. The versatile George has been a
regular at Riverhouse
Asian Bistro of
late, showing off his vocal skills in a jazz piano duo with Larry
Martinez.
The
sonorous
Canadian
singer-songwriter is also a superb blues singer, but will be
concentrating on golden oldie country songs this Friday.

A
host of bands and DJs will be partying the night away at Boeng Kak in
Phnom Penh on Saturday night. Cambodian rockers Batbangers,
Siem Reap-based collective Cambojam and French MC 12ME
are just a few of the acts on the roster. The 'Develop Boeng Kak'
organisation - based around Simone Bistro & Art
at the former lakeside – is committed to helping the local
community affected by the
draining and filling of Boeng
Kak Lake. The area is still a popular, alternative, destination for
back packers and from
time-to-time holds large-scale music parties.
Earlier
on Saturday, singer-songwriter
Amanda Bloom
will be teaming up with some fantastic musical talent at FCC
– The Mansion. Euan
Gray will open
proceedings with a solo set, followed by Amanda and her band (the
superb Andrey Andrea and
Lewis Pragasam).
Check out the video below for
a sample of Amanda's beautifully haunting piano-playing and vocal
style.
The SoundtrekProject
is a group of students from
Paris, currently making
their way around South-East Asia by the unusual means of performing
concerts as a twelve-piece brass band! If you have not
yet caught one of their energetic performances, there are still a few
chances to see them perform this week. Soundtrek
will be at Sharky Bar in
Phnom Penh on Friday and at Cloud
in
Phnom Penh on Saturday before heading up
to
Siem
Reap.
The vibrant orchestra will then play their
final Cambodian concerts at Music
Art School
on Monday and at Laundry
Bar on
Wednesday.
Whatever you're up to over the next few days... stay safe out there and... see you around the traps!
