It’s not too often that Torrevieja and the Oriheula Costa offer big name attractions but as new owners and promoters come onto the scene, the area is beginning to bring in a few big names. In 2009 we’ve already had the likes of the Bachelors, Ray Lewis from the Drifters, El Canto del Loco, Monroe’s Rock Fest and other big names in the Spanish music scene. And, in case you haven’t heard, August’s traditional UK Bank Holiday weekend will offer up not one, but two, household names from the 80’s as Alexander O’Neil and Limahl fight it out. An embarrassment of riches possibly but great news for music lovers.The Asturias Restaurant is hosting the third annual Party on the Park, with a variety of family entertainment, activities, fun, foam and dancing over the weekend. The headliner for the weekend is the one and only Limahl, best known for his ‘interesting’ spiky haircut and as vocalist for Kajagoogoo. He’s on for one night only, at 2000-hrs on Saturday as he’s jetting back to London on Sunday for a guest TV appearance to promote the new tour of the reformed Kajagoogoo. He’ll be performing all of his old hit records including ‘Never Ending Story’. A good sing-a-long set for one and all. There are sure to be a few 40-something mums in the audience telling their daughters about Top of the Pops and the good old days and this promises to be a fun-filled weekend for all the family. Phone 636 120 179 for more information.
Just across the road, at the Oriheula Costa Resort one of the world’s top soul artists is appearing; Alexander O’Neil, who has been thrilling audiences with his powerful voice and stage presence for over 25-years. For those who can remember the name but not his records, they have included such hit singles as ‘Saturday Love’, ‘If you were here tonight’, ‘Saturday Love’ and ‘Never knew love like this’. He is appearing for two nights at the Oriheula Costa Resort, but be quick, as Saturday is almost sold out and tickets are going fast.
