Last Saturday evening, guests enjoying a meal in our Oasis Restaurant were treated to a somewhat different musical experience: an impromptu performance by the “Viva” quartet, four very talented singers who are members of SABS, the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers.
Gail, Barbara, Anthea and Lyn were enjoying a relaxing weekend break at Sunset Beach Club and whilst dining in the hotel’s restaurant, were invited by hotel entertainer, Tina Rose, to get up and sing for our guests. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Barbershop harmony, Gail and the rest of the “Viva” quartet sing a cappella; basically, it’s unaccompanied vocal music. No music, no instruments, just four fantastic voices each with a distinctive tone. Great fun to watch and even better to listen to!
The “Viva” quartet hope to visit Sunset Beach Club again soon; who knows, we might even be able to persuade them to put on a show for us! In the meantime, they will be busy preparing for their associations annual get together, suitable named “En Armonía” (In Harmony) which takes place in Murcia from the 8th to the 11th April.
Anyone interested in Barbershop singing can find out more about the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers on www.sabs.es
We had a full house for the “Back to the 40’s” Show at the Moonlight on Monday evening! Hundreds of people enjoyed a great evening of singing and dancing and judging by the applause, the night was a great success.
Here’s a few photos I took throughout the show as well as a short video with various clips.(please excuse the video editing ;-))
Active Sound Productions, who specialise in the organisation of musical events on the Costa del Sol, will present a night of the very best Blues music at Sunset Beach Club’s Moonlight Cabaret Bar on Saturday the 2nd October.
With performances from Steve Payne(UK) and the Johan Wahlstrom Band(Sweden), the evening promises some of the best of the Blues.
A little about the musicians….
Steve Payne is a composer, singer and producer who has been described as “one of the UK’s finest guitarists”. Calm but passionate, with a distinct melodic voice and unique way of playing the guitar Steve draws energy from the crowd creating a vibrant atmosphere anywhere he performs.
The Johan Wahlstrom Band is made up by some of the members of famous Swedish group “Stockholm Stoner” and prestigious local musicians such as Jazz singer Elena Salguero and pianist Gabriel Zenni. Half of the group’s repertoire is written by Johan Wahlstrom himself and the others are versions of classic tracks.
The show starts at 10:00pm and tickets are available at the El Corte Inglés stores. (A bargain at €10) 🙂
