Hot off the press!
After a very successful meeting with representatives of this very special Association we have agreed to work with them to help fund raising and also promote awareness of their very special and much needed cause.
More news on this later but, WATCH THIS SPACE!!
Well here we are at the end of another month and I’ve only just realised that I didn’t post a news bulletin for June!! Its been very hot here and there has been so much happening but, here goes with a double month edition!
June:
We were in a period of change during this month and things certainly happened fast. Having our first gig at Dannys Restaurant bar cancelled due to a family bereavement was a disappointment but our thoughts were with our good friends Martine and Danny at that time. New dates in August and early October have been arranged for Dannys bar. We had the change of venue at El Chaparral too. After more than two years, circumstances out of our hands mean’t that we chose to give up the Thursday night gig at Bar carmen. We were disappointed at this happening but, life moves on and we were approached by two other venues on the block to go there instead. We chose Bonanza bar & Restaurant and made our first appearance there on 30th June. . We also had another great night at La Padrera in Bigastro in June and hope to go back there soon although no further dates are in at the time of writing.
June also saw us doing our final Saturday of the year at PALS Club in La Siesta and as usual, this friendly club made us very welcome. We also travelling to La Romano (in the mountains) where we did a great gig for The Barney Dogs charity. It was great fun and the fully sold out event was a big success for the charity and especially the organisers.
July:
Well, this really was a fast moving and full month. We appeared at The Arches in Los Alcazares again at the beginning of the month and the gig was outside which was great fun. We also had a private 65th birthday party in a fabulous club venue in Albatera and a new venue in Campasol (The Bali-Hi Restaurant) on the 15th. Both were a grea success. My daughter Lisa, Darren and four of my fabulous grandchildren paid a visit from 9th to 26th and this gave access to the other Elvis act billed in our three gig tour known as the “Double Elvis” show. Darren Price, who met my daughter a few years ago when we wre working together in the UK, was here in the Costas and ready to star in the sell out tour taking in Casa Ventura, Los Arcos and Rocajuna. They were really great events that everyone enjoyed and we will be repeating this tour again next year.
We had our annual Edward Trust charity hog roast on 18th and as always this was a great occasion for the organisers. We were also asked to do a special event at Hoggies on Friday 23rd to help Julie and the family celebrate her fathers birthday which they do every year postumously. We were priviledged to be asked. We also did Hoggies on two Sundays in both June and July which we really enjoyed as it’s such a great venue run by really nice people. At the end of the month we met some other really great people. Firstly with Nia and Henry at Nia bar / restaurant in Los Locos where we appeared for the first time. This Belgian / Dutch run venue is incredibly friendly and it was a pleasure to work there with them. We have three further bookings there this year now and are really looking forward to them. On Friday, we go to a new venue run by people that we know very well when we used to sing at their old premises (now closed) in Los Alcazares. Sizzling Punjab have opened a new restaurant in Pourto Mazarron and they have asked us to do every Friday we can this summer (four in total) The first is Friday and we are very excited about travelling to see them and do the show there. Of Course, we cannot forget to mention the fabulous Casa Nicolas restaurant that we appear at every Saturday. They are just fantastic to work with and generally, we have great nights there. Nicolas sadly lost his Father which resulted in one gig being cancelled and our thoughts went out to him, Shannon and the family.
Now, we look forward to August and what a month it’s shaping up to be too! We have a lot of bookings during the month including the launch of the “King and Country” shows / line dance and the first of the five year end “Ricky Valance 50th anniversary in music” tour dates. More on this at the end of August.
Have fun everyone and Hang Loose

The three gig tour of the Costa Blanca region was a HUGE success with sell out crowds at each venue.
This tour was so successful that we are already planning to repeat it next year and hope to offer more dates and venues next time. Audinece reaction to this show was amazing and we had some fantastic comments back from those attending.
We would like to thank the three venues that participated in this event. All were incredibly supportive of the show so thanks to Keven and Vic at Casa Ventura, Angelique at Los Arcos and Dave at Rocajuna.
Now, we are busy with tickets for the King & Country show and line dance tour which starts on 13th August. Check it out and get your tickets NOW as they will be limited in each venue.
We have just completed the second show in the tour and both were very well received. On Friday at Casa Ventura we had 100 people in a very hot room as there was no air con!! Everyone stayed and everyone loved the show. Featuring Darren Price and his 60s Elvis tribute (in 68 Comeback special black leathers), the show had people singing along and dancing in the aisles all evening. Both Darren and Elvis 2000 received a great reception and Fiona McLean was outstanding with her portrayal of the songs made popular by Connie Francis, Brenda Lee and Patsy Cline.
The night was hot and sticky (especially in leathers and an Elvis Vegas suit) but everyone went away happy and excited.
Last night we took the show to Los Arcos ( a much bigger venue) and again we had over 100 people there. With much more space at hand and some air con, the evening was slightly more comfortable but most importantly, a big success!
We would like to thank Casa Ventura and Los Arcos for their help and support in making the shows possible.
Now, we await the final show of the tour on Wednesday at Rocajuna in Punta Prima. Tickets for this show have sold out and so we are very excited about this event and appearing at Rocajuna for the first time.

The father of Nicolas died this week in France. As a result he and his family have returned to France and closed the restaurant for a week. This means that our Independence Day show due to have been staged there on Saturday 3rd July has had to be cancelled. Our thoughts are with Nicolas and his family at this difficult time.
Our show will be back at Casa Nicolas on Saturdays starting from 10th July.
