Sorry to metion Christmas so early.

I was wondering what the best time of year to come over if I was wanting to get some singing work for the Christmas period.

Thanks

Neil

How about.... just before xmas

Flights are usually cheap up to early/mid Dec but apartments are hard to get unless you book early.

...and I may be completely wrong but if I were a venue owner I would have my entertainment booked well before Xmas.

I would say most of Tenerife's top acts / singers are booked up already.

I agree, top acts will be booked long before but an unknown who doesn't live on the Island? As a bar owner I wouldn't book an act that I wasn't sure would come to the Island bearing in mind the price of flights apartments/hotels etc at xmas. There are bar owners who leave it till the last minute or get let down by the acts.

I thought I had possibly left it a little late. Maybe I will take a holiday and scout around whilst I'm there for work next year. Cheers guys.

A good idea but bars change hands quite frequently so don't pin your hopes on any promises of work for the following year.

That's a bummer, best of luck to all your family and I hope that 2009 turns out to be a lot better for all of you.

MP3....great idea but no can do.

Always, always when typing long scripts, use word and save the work at regular intervals as you work and then copy and paste to e-mail, forum etc.

Thanks Rob and Margaretbl.

Amazingly, sis in law came out of hospital yesterday, (Thursday), and is now staying with us, away from screaming grandkids, chaos, etc., and will be here for however long it takes for her to feel OK. She is very much up, although the hospital did say this weekend will be the telling point. But it's looking really good.

She became calmer after going to the hospital last week where everything was explained to her.

(It's always the not knowing that seems to be the worst).

Rob, I knew you would offer some good advice re the typing thingy, (and I thank you for that), but, being so annoyed at losing my post from Tuesday..!!!! (early Wednesday morning), which had a lot more info in it, you weren't to know that, as regards my typing hatred, when gorgeous long haired daughter, (step) ,......................(and before anybody gets the wrong idea, this description came from when we had cats and they were regarded as family, ie., daughters , (and we had to distinguish one from another), that's the name she ended up with.
With her not knowing what to get me for Xmas, I suggested to Mum a little Panasonic Voice Recorder, with speech to text software so I can speak and record, then it will convert/print it to text !!!!

Fandabidozi, as little Janette would say.

I am currently trying it out, (one has to make sure it works, or it will have to go back , and be replaced), and things are looking good on the no-typing scenario.

(By the way Magaretbl, have you been to Clearance Bargains, up in Stanley? If not, they're a clearing store for Argos, and you can save a fortune if you're not looking to have the latest model available per product).

So, my/our thanks to you both for your concern. Thank you.

PS:- I didn't think the forum could accept mp3s, ....................oh well, you'll just have to miss out on my chatty little messages then, so don't be cross with yourself !!!!.

Merry Xmas to everybody, I hope it is as you want it to be.

For us, it is the BEST, EVER.

Sis-in-law is CLEAR , no cancer, no chemo/radiotherapy treatment to follow the recent operation.

Brother in law is on the mend and is looking towards same, so, a definitely very Happy Xmas here.

Regards to you all.
