Hi desoldenhoff ... as far as I know, the bar is still open as it appears in local adverts showing a phone number of 0034 966 809 258.

Is Ron Jones still appearing in Benidorm?
For many years he played Country music in the Red Dog then he left and we saw him in the Game Bird formerly Carriages. We are going on Sunday and hope to see him.

Hi Sue,
Ron Jones was on at Hotel Orange when we were there at end of October, don`t know if this is a regular gig for him now; but it appeared that way as he was on three times in the week we stayed; 27th Oct. to 4th Nov.
Best Regards, Brigger :)
When I say on at the Orange, I mean The Sanctuary pub/club which is part of Hotel Orange. :lol:

Thanks Brigger
We will certainly look in there next week.

Bruce Jones was appearing at Gigalos for a week. He was polite when spoken to, agreed to have his photo taken with fans and was most annoyed at the newspaper article that reflected him in a bad light and also used unathorised methods of obtaining a photograph to print. Bruce told me he has two pantos to do and then 2 films, so he's not done yet. Les Battersby may be finished (for now) but Bruce Jones is going strong.

Hi all,
Is there a Chubby Brown tribute act in Benidorm? If so is he any good?
thanks

There is a Chubby Brown tribute act called Woody Brown and yes he is good, he looks and sounds very like the real one.

Got to agree with Lacostaduo about Woody Brown re: his likeness to the real thing, we bumped into him one night as we were coming out of Stardust, he was in the doorway having a quick fag & a drink before he went on stage next. We had to do a double take as we thought he looked uncannily like Chubby :shock: , he seemed a cheerful; friendly bloke as well; he had a few words with us even though we were`nt staying to watch him.
Best Regards, Brigger :)

Can anyone remember the singer johnny Whittaker?(sp) He used to sing in benidorm during the 90's. I used to see him quite a lot then stopped going to benidorm. I think he was from Liverpool?

If you find yourself near Moraira then Options is a great little place for dinner. Great food at around 25 euro for 3 courses but its the best I have found in about 20 visits.

Does anyone know if the Talk Of The Coast has been refurbished yet? I was told by the owner Mani that it was being done up in January and would be closed for about 3 weeks, however i believe its been closed for a while in December and due to re-open tonight, so was wondering if they have done the work early, or just closed for a while for other reasons?

Best Regards - Taggy :)

Me and the wife along with a couple of friends who live in Benidorm and had a great night out at a bar in the old town called the intimate english bar which is a karaoke bar. This a gay/straight mixed bar with a superb atmosphere and a different world to the new town.

I've just heard that the Talk Of The Coast will be closed until mid March!!!...Does anyone know why that is? Is it that the refurbishment is going to take longer than expected, or could there be other reasons? I wonder if Neil Ross is singing anywhere else in Benidorm during this closure?

Best Regards - Taggy :)
