THE ALL SKAS - One Step Beyond!

-

 

So last Saturday night, I'd planned to go out with friends and have a well deserved night off from the day job and blogging.... Then a saxophone started up, my blogging brain kicked right back into action and I knew I had to write about The All Skas!


The last time I saw live music at The Condado Club, we were still under strict covid restrictions. So much so, the band Los Duques live streamed into the club exclusively, as they were not allowed to travel and perform - They were fantastic and against all the odds The Condado Club hosted a fantastic night under the circumstances.

Saturday on the other hand was a totally different story and it was fabulous to see the club bouncing, full of happy people dancing, having fun and at last back to some sort of normal. 

Ska music is a particular favourite of mine and whenever I see a new band I find myself in this catch 22, where I am so excited to hear them play but also praying they don't murder my favourite kind of music. 

Let me tell you, I had absolutely nothing to worry about with The All Skas, they absolutely smashed it! 

Playing all the classic favourites from Madness and The Specials, a bit of Bob Marley and even a rendition of Happy Birthday for the birthday girl, they were absolutely brilliant.

The musical talent, singing, engagement with the audience, outfits, stage setting and lighting really did make for a fabulous evening. 


The energy, passion and talent they put into the show must be exhausting and when I went onto their Facebook page and saw their upcoming schedule I couldnt quite believe it,  they must be shattered. 


Talking of their schedule, I will be going to see them play in another location and I am already excited for it and would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a bit of skanking! 

Massive Thanks to The All Skas for a great evening and to The Condado Club for hosting. 

If you're interested in hearing these guys for yourself, please check out their Facebook page and get yourself along to one of their next gigs.

THE COSTA CALIDA - The Warm Coast

-
Image
    The Costa Calida is the coastline of Murcia and runs from the North near Alicante, down to the South bordering with Almeria. Well know areas along this coast include the Mar Menor, Aguilas, Mazarron and Cartegena to name just a few. The original airport serving the Costa Calida (on my first arrival) was San Javier, a military airport also serving civilians. In January 2019 Murcia International Airport opened, which along with Alicante Airport provides an important gateway to our beautiful home.      Host to several mountain ranges, outstanding golf courses, national parks and spectacular coastlines, activities are plenty or if you prefer you can while the day away with stunning views, beautiful Mediterranean food, a cafe con leche or something stong if you wish - you really are spoilt for choice!        With an array of Spanish villages, cities, ports, harbour towns and ex-pat urbanisations there is something for everyone....

Reeves Butchers - The English Butcher in Mazarrón

  With the recent departure of the English Butchers on A, I thought you might find this blog of interest if you're missing your favourite cuts of meat and, of course, a good old British Banger! Reeves English Butchers has been around a long while, with their main shop in Torrevieja and more locally doing fresh deliveries to order across Camposol, Condado de Alhama, The Country Club, Mazarrón Town, El Puerto de Mazarrón and just about everywhere else inbetween.  With qualified British butchers, an extensive list of local and British suppliers the quality and range of their products is fantastic. Whether ordering for a BBQ, special occasion or just a good old English breakfast or roast dinner, I have never been disappointed.  I started using them during the lockdown and have to say I have never looked back. With various ways of ordering, either through their facebook page, WhatsApp, in their Torrevieja shop or through their camposol base at Luz del Sol it really couldn't be...

Florist Review - Floristeria Mari Jose

  This morning we were discussing what to buy a friend for her Birthday and that you don't see fresh flowers here in Spain, as much as you do back in the UK. A quick Google and we were heading off to El Puerto de Mazarron ... Situated in the center of El Puerto de Mazzaron is a cute little shop front, with plenty of parking and a beautiful array of fresh flowers.  On entering the shop there was an enchanting aroma of freshly cut flowers and two incredibly sweet ladies. With my limited Spanish and their helpful manner we had no problem at all understanding one another and putting together a perfect selection for our friend and at a reasonable price too.  The flowers were fresh, colourful and smelt amazing and I am confident they will last well and bring our friend lots of joy for her birthday. If you are looking for a pressie or just to bring some colourful joy into your home, please consider visiting these lovely ladies, sit...
