As the year ends Greyrocks looks back on some cultural highlights of the last two months- in music, cinema and stage.
The island doesn't feature on many significant rock tours, but we did have a gig by a Dire Straits tribute band called Overbooking - who hail from Gran Canaria. They played at the Corralejo Auditorio, and this was Greyrocks' first visit there. An impressive line-up and very competent performance to a rather under-sized audience!
We have also made international news as the setting for filming of the new Ridley Scott spectacular:- "Exodus", causing some excitement and some (rather constrained) temporary employment.
And last - as the nadir or zenith - there is the panto! (Notice the acronym for the company!) Greyrocks tried to rouse interest for a coach party, but it it ended up as them plus Mel and Elaine. We nonetheless had a whale of a time. It was very well-produced, had beautiful costumes (of course!) and there was animated audience participation. The Phoenix Bar was closing for good the night after we went, so watch this space for news of Kennie (Sadie) rising from the ashes!
