It’s promising to be one of the best ever events in Gibraltar, with a line-up that includes the Simple Minds, The Alan Parsons Project, Taxi and Noiz. ]]> http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/music/rock-the-rock/feed/ 0 http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/puerto-banus-relives-its-heyday/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=puerto-banus-relives-its-heyday http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/puerto-banus-relives-its-heyday/#comments Wed, 24 Nov 2010 11:59:34 +0000 Michel Cruz http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/?p=571 No need to remember the days when luxurious yachts sailed into Puerto Banús marina and an international jet-set gathered at this famous resort’s stylish venues to party in style in one of Europe’s most exclusive locations. No need to remember because those days are back! They say the world is your oyster, and for those who can afford it the southern coast of Spain is a particularly attractive one. If you have the means to enjoy it, Puerto Banús alone offers an experience to rival the best in the Mediterranean, the Aegean or the Caribbean.]]> http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/puerto-banus-relives-its-heyday/feed/ 0 http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/music/michel-appears-on-talk-radio-europe/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=michel-appears-on-talk-radio-europe http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/music/michel-appears-on-talk-radio-europe/#comments Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:43:47 +0000 Michel Cruz http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/?p=371 In June I appeared on a local radio show called Profiles. Inspired by the iconic Desert Island Discs and hosted by Gillie Revill, this Talk Radio Europe programme profiles guests while allowing them to make a selection of six of their favourite songs. I thought it would be fun and have to admit that the real draw was the chance to have a selection of my all-time favourites played. A bit like having your own show, and for the many frustrated DJs out there (myself included) it’s just the thing. ]]> http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/music/michel-appears-on-talk-radio-europe/feed/ 0 http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/bjorn-again-rod-stephan/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bjorn-again-rod-stephan http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/bjorn-again-rod-stephan/#comments Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:55:36 +0000 Michel Cruz http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/bjorn-again-rod-stephan/ 'Bjorn Again is much more than a tribute band', says Rod Stephan who founded the band in the late eighties. 'Back then, no-one had listened to Abba’s music for years, and when their Greatest Hits album was re-released, it flopped completely.' Abba might have got it badly wrong, but Rod’s timing was to prove spot on.]]> http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/bjorn-again-rod-stephan/feed/ 0 http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/hugh-cornwell-strangler-return/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hugh-cornwell-strangler-return http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/hugh-cornwell-strangler-return/#comments Thu, 21 Feb 2008 06:10:04 +0000 Michel Cruz http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/hugh-cornwell-strangler-return/ The man who rejected Chrissie Hynde as lead singer, gave lifts in his ice cream van to Elvis Costello and above all, co-wrote such anthems as ‘Golden Brown’, ‘No More Heroes’ and ‘Peaches’, is back. Hugh Cornwell, for years the face of The Stranglers, is hitting the charts again]]> http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/hugh-cornwell-strangler-return/feed/ 0 http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/george-benson-soul-jazz-music/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=george-benson-soul-jazz-music http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/george-benson-soul-jazz-music/#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:02:23 +0000 Michel Cruz http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/george-benson-soul-jazz-music/ He’s back in Marbella this summer, one of those performers whose silky sound just seems to fit right into the setting. Think of it; a sultry summer’s night at the Puente Romano Tennis Club, and George Benson’s unique blend of jazz, pop, R&B and romance rising into the air against a backdrop of palm trees and La Concha Mountain. No wonder it has become such a mutual love affair, this was the sort of place his music was made for. The artist himself says it is one of the most beautiful locations he has played at, “It has to do with the topography of the region, the sunshine and beautiful seaside.”]]> http://michel-cruz.rimontgo.com/freelance-writing/george-benson-soul-jazz-music/feed/ 0
