Memorial events for Tony Kelsey-Stead in Phuket

PHUKET: In memory of former Phuket resident Tony Kelsey-Stead, who died last week in England, friends and colleagues have arranged two memorial events on the island.

The first, organized by The Andaman Players theater group, will feature a free show at The Green Man pub in Chalong at 6:30 pm on Sunday May 2.

The performance will feature acts and songs from their latest show ‘LOVE is a 4 letter word’.

Although the show is free, donations will be welcome for Tony’s partner Fon, who is herself now in hospital.

The second event, to be held at Friendship Beach in Rawai on Tuesday May 4 at 6pm, will feature a musical tribute by the many musicians who have played with Tony.

The Groove Doctors will open the show, which will also feature Colin Hill, The Bamboo Jam band and many others in an open stage jam.

A buffet will also be available.

Anyone who knew Tony is invited to attend and share in each or both of the events.
