"Simply Red" in Bangkok

Simply Red delivers a resounding concert in Bangkok, the start of their Asian tour and their last concert tour before they disband. Mick Hucknall, lead singer, gave his all and brought the crowd on its dancing feet even though he was very sick with stomach trouble. Even the new Minister of Finance, Korn Chatikavanit, in the aisle row behind us, was standing and singing with his two bodyguards smiling around him. The Bangkok audience gave Mick several rousing ovations, and at the end were polite enough not to clap and cheer for an encore because Mick was too sick to return for an encore.
