Events and What's on guides

[andalucia]

Hi everyone,

I am Sarah, a member of the Andalucia.com team and we are currently planning to develop our events database into a user-friendly, much more informative, up to date website.

We need your help!

Please could you tell us where you currently find out about events, activities, entertainment and the like in the region of Andalucia.
What do you look for in terms of events and do you like the current websites on offer? What's good about them, what could be improved?
Would you use a rating system to help judge your choices?

Using your wisdom, we think we can really create a fantastic tool for all of our users. Thanks a lot in advance,
Sarah

Tuesday 17th July. Tributes in costume to Shania Twain, Blondie, Karen Carpenter and 60's & 70's Divas. (By the fabulous Angie)
Angie's amazing portrayals of Shania, Karen & Blondie are synonimous with the artists themselves and are sure to enthrall lovers & newcomers to the 1960's & 70's musical era alike. With songs also from artists such as: Lulu, Dusty, Petula Clark, Cilla, Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Martha Reeves and Vandellas. Shirley Bassey and Sandi Shaw, it will be a night to remember.

Pencilled in dates for entertainment for September onwards are:

12th and 26th September.
10th and 24th October.




Are you thinking about having a charity event, birthday party or other celebration? If yes then think about the Beachcomber. We have some of the best entertainment available, so there's no reason we cannot do a night for your occasion. You don't have to fill the Beachcomber and we might be able to top up the numbers if you want us to. If required we can discuss a suitable menu at a very reasonable cost and we will pay for the entertainer/s.
How about a surprise birthday party for a friend or relative with their favourite singer to entertain him/her. Maybe Elvis or even Cliff Richards who will be coming to the Beachcomber soon? (tributes obviously)

The Puntazo hotel (Which is very nice) was offering (Winter) double rooms for €30 a night. 950478265.10/15 minutes walk from the Beachcomber. A friend of mine booked a night next door in the sister hotel 'Virgen del Mar' for only €25 single occupancy. I'm also informed the old looking but nice inside 'La Marina Hotel' (I think its called) next to the ciggie shop does some good deals. The Marazul is even cheaper, as low as €20 I'm told deals can be done for! I'm also told the (Closer to us) Buenavista Hostal is clean and tidy and I'm sure a deal could be done.

Don't let anyone say 'There's nothing going on in Mojacar' they cant anymore! Best wishes, John.

I'll edit in some dates later, John.

[John Beachcomber]

I will add some dates sometime in July for the autumn, John.

Nothing like a little advertising

[Chunky Monky]

I hope they don't allow drunks and people with tattoos in.

Hi Julie, I wouldn't do that normally but presumed this is the sort of thing we were being asked for, we will soon find out eh?

John.

Ha ha I see you've been reading Tripadvisor, I don't think by 'downmarket' the reviewer would have meant drunks because we don't have any in the restaurant (They would be thrown out ) I really cannot imagine what it meant other than this snobbish person thinks tattooed people are 'downmarket'. Oh well you cant please them all can you?

John.

Typical "entertainment" from Brit bars with "pretend" stars. See the age group they are grabbing...Dusty Springfield

[Julie]

The same poster uses www.viva-almeria.com as a free advertising site as well, that is why I commented and the moderator on that site is very lax and only removes posts she doesn't like, . They are short of visitors there I presume that is why he wants to advertise on here , hopefully he won't to take over this site as well.

People should pay to push their business.

That comment referred to an earlier thread, nothing to do with your posts. As you're new and probably haven't read any other threads, I wouldn't expect you to know that though.

Morning Frank ........Ignore button back to normal now?

You've lost me, DA! I only have one ignore button on, and no way that's coming off! I think it was POR that mentioned the tattoed brigade, wasn't it?

[katy]

I think he was refering to a review on Trip Advisor. He has not come on here to actually read any posts just to advertise.

That really isn't fair Julie, I was asked on that site to advertise 'whats on' and am here responding to a moderators request for ideas of how to make this forum more informative regarding events etc.

If its not suitable and this site doesn't really want what the moderator has asked for then I'm sure she will tell me and delete my valid answer. After that time the site and members will be less informed and you may be a lot happier Julie.

Not true Katy, I have been a member since 2005 and come on occasionally to read but haven't posted (Or advertised ) at all. I have started posting now more because of the interesting gardening forum which I have joined in on.

This has always been an unfriendly forum because of the large quantity of troll members it has and is the reason I haven't joined in during these last six years. I hoped and think the gardening forum will be free of the nasty and argumentative element and I only answered the request by a moderator in the first post here. I should have known what was to come really because as I say I've been a member here for longer than most.

We will see what your moderators want for the site but I'm more than happy to just carry on contributing to the gardening forum, John.

Thanks Frank for explaining that. Not new and a member since 2005 but you are right and I haven't seen the post you mention, cheers, John.
