Once more to the South of Spain...

Playlist

Various Artists - Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection 2018 Vols 1-52

Up early and out and down the hill...

However, going in the opposite direction from "normal", I headed to the airport, for what is now an annual trip to the South of Spain...

...which took just over three hours...

A further hour's drive or so and we were at our destination...

Puerto Banus...

As usual, a football team was at the hotel, this year 1. FC Nurnberg - and it turned out Steau Bucharest were here too...

We had three cars, this small Peugeot, christened by me the JZM-mobile, brought me and chum Gaz here...

Other attendees were Julio, Raymondo, Luke, Spike, Baz, Ali, Double D, Janine, Matty and Jack...

Gaz and I beat the rest down from the airport and I took the opportunity for a reccy before the rest arrived...

In the evening, the hotel cat welcomed us at the bar for drinks, before we headed out into the night...

Up to Zen, our favourite Chinese Restaurant, where, I have to say, I felt for the two or three other couples in the place, due to our rather raucous behavior...

The food was excellent...

As was the drink...

A walk down to the port side...

...was followed by a walk home for me and Luke as we left the others to it...

Highlight of the Day : Back in Spain...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
