A kind friend, Ziggy Doran, currently in Puerto Pollensa has put together this little summary about some of the live music events this week in Puerto Pollensa.
"The music scene in PP this week is, for me, a tale of three exceptional ladies. Guillermo Segui Rotger's Thursday night carnival of sorts at Hostal Borras Borras was governed by the audience this week, who demanded that the maestro offer another spot to the peerless Eleanor. How could he refuse?! For those 'pop pickers' who aren't here, keep an eye out for this chica who turns 91 in four weeks time and clearly has a big future ahead of her!
How do you follow Eleanor? Ask Kristine Oxlund who was handed that unenviable task by the twinkling Guillermo! Kristina delivered her signature tune 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love', before making my Brown Eyes Blue and exiting to another well deserved standing ovation. This talent spring of PP truly is a torrent!
Earlier, on the other side of town at Bar Norai Puerto Pollensa, the Disaster Duo had performed their unique brand of jazz, rock, hip hop (with even a little bit of Chopin thrown in this week). How to describe the Duo to someone who hasn't seen them? Zany, energetic, irrepressible, fun (and that's just pianist Felix von Harnack!) to be honest, the only thing I don't like about them is their name? I'd have called them, 'Beauty and the Beats', which is the best description that I can come up with for them. They closed their set with, 'After The Party's Over' and Sofia Ise's voice soared over the bay as the hushed audience were held spellbound. The new restrictions come into force today and one can only hope that Sofia's words don't turn out to be prophetic...
Thanks to all of the performers who have maintained the PP vibe in these difficult times and thanks to all of you who responded to my last post. Hopefully it won't be too long before the return to PP of all absent friends: it's just not the same without....YOU!"
