The Blues Factory

The former Walking Street blues room

The Blues Factory was a long-running live-music venue on Soi Lucky Star, off Walking Street in South Pattaya. Its documented identity centered on blues and rock performances, and guitarist Lam Morrison was associated with the venue.

The verified closure

A contemporary discussion records that the original owner closed The Blues Factory in July 2014. Later discussion about where Lam Morrison performed reinforces that the Soi Lucky Star venue was no longer his operating base.

A specialist chronology adds an important correction: the name reopened under Tony’s ownership in November 2014, but the revival did not last. Current hours, entry terms, set times and live schedules have therefore been removed. A residual map result and surviving forum discussions describe a historical venue, not proof of present operation.

What replaced it

The chronology identifies Champion A-GoGo as the later use of the Blues Factory venue. That is a site lineage, not evidence that Champion continued the former blues programming or brand.

A closure with two stages

The July 2014 closure report concerns the original owner’s operation. The chronology then records a reopening under Tony’s ownership in November 2014 before identifying Champion A-GoGo as the later occupant. Keeping those stages separate avoids two common errors: stating that the name disappeared permanently in July, or treating the brief revival as proof that The Blues Factory survives today. No source in the record publishes a current Blues Factory programme.

Pinning down the former room

A 2010 Pattaya Mail archive places The Blues Factory on Soi Lucky Star opposite Marine Disco, off Walking Street. That contemporary landmark corroborates the location independently of later closure discussions. It also prevents confusion with other Pattaya businesses using “blues” in their names. The address evidence is historical: it identifies the former music room but cannot turn a residual listing into a current venue.
