Many of us that stay on the island end up at Stones (24hr) Bar to wind down at the end of the day. The music stops but they have some bongos and didgeridoos which make an appearance some nights. My friend Ben is always up for a session as is Book. Last night Benji, french fireshow performer, was there too and conversations between the jammed tunes were about breathing techniques, how to get a better sound out of the didge - typical banter between musicians. Then along comes Ryan, a tall Aussie with dreads - asks if he can take a turn. 30 seconds later all our jaws had dropped - the rhythms, the range of sounds he could get out of that stick were amazing. Nights like this, extraordinary jam sessions, rhythms floating into the night air are pure magic, the stuff memories are made of and are exactly what one would expect of a night staring out to sea from a magical Phi Phi Island. A shame that so many people missed it caught up in the boom boom bang bang of the party beach bars
