Songwriter and frontman of Ngọt, now writing alone in Hội An
"I like to be the observer of the world, and now the world is observing me.
Hội An is a port for artists. People visit and show me their music, and I am blown away.
July 2026
Four days of showcases from community radio stations across Asia, 13 to 16 August. It started in Đà Nẵng and finished here, seventy five sets across fifteen rooms, with the Hội An days landing at Roving Chillhouse, OTA Playhouse and Hoa Lá.
"A new concept with no track record, sparse information and a cute mascot."
It billed itself as the first Airtime Asia coalition, and it ran like one. Stations from across the region programmed their own rooms, a Radio Bootcamp taught the craft behind them, and a roundtable flew in Jane Slingo to lead it.
The Hội An days were the back half. Roving Chillhouse, OTA Playhouse and Hoa Lá took the Saturday and Sunday, after three days that had already soundtracked Đà Nẵng from Simple Beach Tiên Sa to Nhà Bar.
Around the music sat a record pool project, a purpose built map and schedule, and a door team who were the friendly face of it in the heat. For a first edition with, in their words, no track record and sparse information, it moved a lot of people through a lot of rooms.
Where French cuisine and Vietnamese ingredients meet.
A bistronomy restaurant: inventive cuisine, French wine and a cozy, family friendly atmosphere. Fresh ingredients, dishes made to share, and slow evenings. An evening where food, wine and live music come together. Allée is a hidden alley in French, Gatto is cat in Italian, and the cat in the logo is the alley cat: independent, curious, always back home. The room follows.
Two artists, one shared space. Nguyễn Trịnh Quang Minh is a painter from Hà Nội. Viviana Ruiz Gomez is an artist from Bogotá, Colombia. Mas Arroz is their home and working studio, a place for making art, hosting workshops and exhibitions, and bringing people together. Their work is on this edition's pages. A new visual artist features each edition.
