If you didnt go to Bjorn Again in Marbella you missed a really really good night.
I have to say that I didnt expect it to be as full as it was....but it was pretty full in the end. I think the main reason that it was full is that they really hit the Spanish Market which is the majority here in Marbella regardless of what people think. Abba songs are known to everyone all over the world.
We did sit around for a long time before anyone came on. First to arrive was Maurice Boland to do his speech introducing Becky Tate. Becky Tate sang a few songs....then Ruth Lorenzo came on who was absolutely amazing. What an incredible singer she is...just brilliant and she really got the crowd going.
After what seemed like a long break finally at 1030pm Bjorn Again came on. We had already been here since 8pm and my daughter was getting bored with waiting, plus today was the first day she would not take a siesta so she was tired.
Bjorn Again played on the old favourites and everyone was up dancing and singing. A great moment was when Ruth Lorenzo came on and sang with them in Spanish Chiquitita.
They finished dead on 12pm although people started leaving in order to avoid the rush about 11.30pm....these people are mad because they missed the best bits.
Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia etc etc. Then when they finally went of stage the DJ put on some brilliant music and apparently the party was only just begining. We could have stayed there all night dancing away but our little girl was knackered.
I say well done to Dream Ticket Promotions who put that together, they did a huge amount of advertising and it seemed to be full and all ran pretty smoothly.
There were a few negative points but not due to Dream Ticket (I dont think anyway) I think its to do with the bullring....to get a drink you have to queue up for a ticket and pay. Then you take the ticket to the bar and order your drinks. The problem is 1 person giving out the tickets and 10 people to serve....it didnt work. It was the most ridiculous system we have ever seen.
Bag got searched on way in and wasnt allowed to take food or drink in...so had to throw away....the reason I took was to save queuing for hours on end.
The other negative were the awful family that sat near us...Think of the worst word you could call someone and these people were them, and no they werent English...they were Spanish and it was the horrible side of the Spanish that I really dislike. Will explain in another post.
Also if you do go to the bullring for a show...take cushion for your backside...quite uncomfortable!
Brilliant Night!
