Gerry Lyseight – All Kinds Of Everything – Totally Wired Radio – 12/4/23

Wonderful to be back on Totally Wired Radio for a whole 2 hours including interviews and live music recorded in Chiang Mai, Thailand earlier this year; plus Ali Farka Toure with Oumou Sangare, Adi Oasis, John Coltrane, Anna Maria Olsson, Eddie Palmieri, Fruko, loads of John Martyn and a whole lot more, kicking off with the re-pressed Wildflower album from 2 years ago featuring Idris Rahman of Soothsayers on Saxes.

Earlier on this year we spent 3 weeks in Thailand, mainly in Chiang Mai visiting my old friend Alex Boyesen, polymath extraordinaire, his wife (Queen) Bee and their son, Hjalmar, and as Alex works in the sound and vision business and has his own home studios we thought it would make sense to do some recording while in Chiang Mai. Alex set up a couple of interviews with local musicians and I also interviewed Alex – recording artist, musician, all round Sound and Vision specialist … and motor cycle fanatic.

First, Opor, born and raised in Chiang Mai, Sax player, “Nice Guy” and owner of 2 Chiang Mai music venues: The North Gate Jazz Co-op and Mahoree City Of Music.

Followed by Classical and fusion violinist Anna Maria Olsson.

All interviews arranged and recorded by Alex ‘Digital Mixes’ Boyesen in Chiang Mai.
