Music has afforded me some very special moments in my life. My ‘real’ job, the one that pays the bills, has given me the opportunity to travel the world. When the two worlds collide, and I find myself at a global networking conference, located in Thailand, with the chance to jam with the band, how could I refuse?
Le Méridien Phuket Beach Resort is situated on 40 acres of jungle. It is a stunning resort, located between Karon and Patong.
Imagine a stage set up on the beach, facing the Andaman Sea, in a secluded cove, with towering cliffs on either side. The cliffs were the ‘screen’ for a stunning light show, with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, competing with the volume of the PA system.
There was a moment when I looked over the beach, as I rocked with ‘my’ band of Thai/Filipino musicians, watching my friends and colleagues attending the conference, smiling, dancing, singing, laughing. More than 170 delegates from 45 countries, I thought to myself: “The power of rock ‘n’ roll to unite us all”. It was surreal. It was awesome. It’s a moment I will treasure forever.
