LA KARINA

LA KARINA is the name of the restaurant where we play now. At the moment we share venue with Cecil's Jamaica show, and play

Tuesdays
Wednesdays
Sundays

It is easy to find us because we are at the "root" of the Tenerife Sol Hotel "twin towers" in Las Americas

Restaurante La Karina is on the other side of Tenerife Sol on this
picture ( not on the beachfront) and opposite the Pleasure Island
We are neighbours to Jazissimo that now is called Soul Divine.

We start tonight at 19.30.
Welcome all old friends and new ones

NEW PLACE

We are not playing at OASIS MANGO any more. It's a wonderful complex with a nice big dance floor at the swimming pool site, but it is located too far apart from the tourism and there are not guests enough on the hotel to support a live band every night.

Keep yourself posted on this blog to see where we move on.

New Year 2009 !

The Gajol gang

Now again we missed a Danish couple visiting Tenerife. They always bring us GAJOL to oil up our singing throats. So they did this time again. They kindly left the stuff and a Christmas card to the staff for us at Oasis Mango.
Thank you Marianna & Finn. We hope to see you in March instead.

And what is this Gajol ? Well, check out the video clip!

Sherlock Holm

Our sound system today handles 3.600 watts. A normal system for small a restaurant is about 400 - 800 watts. Our music is distributed over 9 amplifiers and spread on the stage, the restaurant roofs, toilets, swimming pool area, terrace and for our monitoring.

I have noticed a power loss in the right side network lately and I could not understand why.
Today I found the reason. Look at the picture. Something heavy have been placed on the 12 meter long cable feeding the amplifiers from our mixer. The right side wire is almost totally cut off. A small error like this will be magnified hundreds of times when the volume is cranked up on a powerful system like this. Fixed it today and can now sleep in peace again.

Read all about it ...

We now advertise in two weekly magazines here on Tenerife, Canarian Weekly and Sveriges Nyheter + a small add in the Linedancer Magazine all over Europe. We hope to reach more Country music lovers and Linedancers this way.

Christmas Card

CLICK FOR CARD

A Merry Christmas to all ...

This is what Susanne and I were brought up with in Finland.
Walt Disneys Christmas card. Broadcasted on Swedish Television
3 o'clock every Christmas eve. Just before the big meal and Santas enterance.
It is still a tradition on SVT1. Started in America 1958 and was called "From All of Us to All of You". In Sweden they call it " Kalle Ankas Jul" ( Donald Duck's Christmas )

And of course. The most broadcasted song ever around the globe

Back on stage Saturday

We start again after our yearly December vacation on Saturday 20th. We hope to see new and old friends on and around the dance floor at OASIS MANGO's restaurant Alfonso.
Remember to show your Taxi receipt to the waiter if you have dinner. It will be reduced from your bill. Welcome !

Now I Know

...is the title of Susanne's third solo album. Like before it have got 10 country songs. We have spent 3 long days to deliver the new baby and you who pre-ordered, will have it on mail ASAP.

CD No 8 under construction

Susanne did well today. Sung all the songs in a relatively short time. Her voice was in good condition as well ... Looks promising ... Now we have to find a nice name for it.

Ray Stone is no longer with us

A shock to all of us in the Country scene of Tenerife to realize that our friend, the singer and musician Raymond Stone have died. We will always remember his devotion to the old classic country songs, his smiling face and funny remarks and jokes. Our hearts and prayers goes to Debbie, his wife who shared the stage with him for many years at the Lewinski bar and the Acapulco bar. RIP.

Hi Clas & Susanne,

Paul from the partner dancers in October here.
Hope you settling in at your new venue, will look you up when next in Tenerife (hopefully February).
I have written a line dance to 'Save Your Heart For Me' and attached a dance sheet in case you wish to use it.

We taught it at a big Country & Western Festival in Tenby, South Wales last week and it was well received. Unfortunately I have had to give alternative dances as the track is not available. Is there any chance you could put it as a
download on your website? I could then inform people of its availabilty.

Have a good Christmas & New Year,
See you soon. best wishes
Paul
