Party by the sea Organisers are predicting this year's Hua Hin Jazz Festival will be the most successful yet [img]http://www.bangkokpost.com/080607_Realtime/080607_rt01.jpg[/img] is not a valid Image. Over the last five years the Hua Hin Jazz Festival has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors with an impressive roster of local and international jazz performers. It's that time of the year again. Time to get out of the smoggy city and head down to warm and breezy Hua Hin for a weekend of sweet jazz music. Swap your creaking couch and arctic air-con for the naturally-soft cushion of the powdery sand and trade noise pollution for the soothing sound of waves and some seriously chilled-out tunes. Hosted once again by Hua Hin Municipality in conjunction with the Hua Hin Hotelier's Club and Heineken, the Hua Hin Jazz Festival kicks off today. Huge numbers of jazz aficionados, local holiday-makers and curious international tourists traditionally descend on the popular coastal resort for the free two-day al fresco event, and this year is expected to be the most popular yet. [img]http://www.bangkokpost.com/080607_Realtime/080607_rt02.jpg[/img] is not a valid Image. The festival was started in 2002 by the Hua Hin Hotelier's Club with the simple aim of boosting the town's profile on the tourist map. A founding member of the club and the initiator of the festival, Dirk De Cuyper has noted that, "Hua Hin is well known in Thailand as a family-oriented destination. But internationally, unlike Phuket or Chiang Mai, nobody really knows about it." Whether or not De Cuyper could have expected to see the festival grow to it present level, Hua Hin Jazz Festival, which is now in its sixth year, has become one of the best-known jazz events in the country and has hosted an impressive collection of local and international performers. [img]http://www.bangkokpost.com/080607_Realtime/080607_rt03.jpg[/img] is not a valid Image. "Growing from strength to strength each year, the annual Hua Hin Jazz Festival is becoming a fixture on the international music calendar," says Hua Hin's deputy mayor, Somboon Chartkitcharoen. "Last year, more than 65,000 people came to Hua Hin to experience 'Jazz on the Beach', and we are not expecting any fewer this year." Thomas Hoeborn, president of the Hua Hin Hotelier's Club, concurs. Hoeborn says that in the past few years, the number of visitors, both local and international, travelling to the town has continued to grow, especially during June when the jazz festival is held. "This growth has also brought about high demand in the property market in Hua Hin," he says. "The number of new hotels and resorts, condominiums and guesthouses has increased to serve the rapid growth of tourists. The Hua Hin Hotelier's Club is confident that this year the accommodation in Hua Hin will be sufficient to meet the demands of festival-goers." The two-day concert is expected to welcome as many as 70,000 visitors from all over the world. Unlike previous years, the 2007 festival will be a completely "off-street event," meaning that all performances and activities will take place on the beach, if not over the water itself. While the theme continues to be "Jazz on the Beach," organisers are hoping to incorporate the sea itself into the weekend. "We've noticed over the years that most of our audience have been romantic couples and groups of friends. They love fun activities and partying, so we are providing them with an al fresco lounge and a sea bar," said Panadcanang Tippagomut, executive project director of CM Organizer, the event administrator. Fittingly, the style of music on offer will be predominantly easy listening jazz and bossa nova to complement the laid-back beach mood. The number of concert stages has been reduced from two to one, but that stage, situated on the beach in front of the Sofitel Central Hua Hin, is equipped with a top-quality imported sound system designed specifically for outdoor concerts and which should minimise natural interruptions from wind and waves. Among the 11 groups of artists is T Mandrake, a new-generation jazz band from the UK. Led by Jay Zeiseniss, a Thai-American-Swiss vocalist, the band will present the Hua Hin crowd with '60s-style jazz with a hint of rock and alternative stylings. Equally exciting are the Montefiori twins from Italy, who will perform lounge-style fusion jazz perfectly suited to serene and sophisticated Hua Hin. Bossa Blossom - eight amateur, yet deeply passionate, female vocalists - will also be there with their bossa interpretations of local pop hits. According to Deputy Mayor Somboon, the Hua Hin Municipality has prepared for the increased number of visitors during the festival by improving all levels of infrastructure to facilitate concert-goers. That includes accommodation, toilet facilities and parking, as well as traffic management. [img]http://www.bangkokpost.com/080607_Realtime/080607_rt41.jpg[/img] is not a valid Image. Concert-goers thronged to last year's festival. "Eighty percent of last year's audience who participated in our poll reported that they were very satisfied with the event," Panadcanang said. "We had some complaints about crowded areas and narrow walkways, which we have now taken into our consideration. So, this year we promise that, in terms of infrastructure, there should not be any dissatisfaction." To cater to the weekend trippers from Bangkok and nearby provinces who will arrive by private cars, parking facilities have been expanded to four locations within a short walking distance from the festival venue: Hua Hin Wittayalai school, Hua Hin Municipial School, Hua Hin Municipality Office and Hua Hin Market Village shopping plaza. Shuttles to and from hotels may also be provided (check with your hotel for availability). "The biggest point that we always want to emphasise is that it's a free concert," Panadcanang said. "You don't have to pay extra to enjoy the great jazz performances over your holiday weekend. The only thing that you need is time: time to let yourself relax and be nurtured by the sweet jazz tunes. And, of course, time to enjoy great food and the atmosphere Hua Hin has to offer." Hua Hin Jazz Festival 2007 is being held on Friday, June 8 and Saturday, June 9.

Hvorfor lægger du et festival program på sitet, når det allerede er forbi???. Formål??- at du kan række næse og sige det var en god festival, synd I ikke havde mulighed for at komme. |

Hvad snakker du om, gå lige hjem og læg den ølflaske  Det kan kaldes en anmeldelse, noget som flittigt bliver brugt i diverse medier - Jeg tror ikke aviserne stopper med at bruge det, blot fordi at begivenheden "er" forbi. Desuden, er dette en tilbagevendende event, så måske andre havde lyst til at komme og se det NÆSTE år... Brug lige hovedet inden du neglicere mine indlæg, tak

Ja, det er godt nok også en vanskelig opgave at finde ud af hvem der har skrevet hvad. Jeg mener det er jo ikke ligefrem som om at navnet og avataren står ud for indlægget...... vent nu lidt, jow, det gør det sørme. |
