Soundmill Studios

If you’re planning an event or function, you really should contact Chris at Soundmill Studios, the reason being that there is very little that this very nice chap doesn’t know about professional sound services. In other words, if you need musicians or performers for a conference, fashion show, product launch or even a wedding, Soundmill Studios will be able to help.

Living in America

Watching the morning TV news the other day, I began to muse upon the American attitude towards foreigners, and foreign Countries. Tricky to define, I concluded. You can’t really call Americans xenophobic – mainly because the majority have never met a foreigner. No, the best word I could come up with is “insular”. For example, the demise of the little-lamented Colonel Gaddafy got a couple of minutes. Likewise, the bail-out of the Greek economy by the ECB, at a cost of gazillions.

A-7 Trial Draws Closer

The bridge collapse tragedy – the worst work-related accident in the history of the province will finally reach the courts this coming February. Today was the 6th anniversary of this this tragic accident that claimed six lives.

Expat Christmas Market

The foreign community of Almuñécar will be putting on a Christmas-style market in the Plaza de la Constitucion (town-hall square), as part of the planned Christmas activities.

Another Dead Dolphin

Some articles back we reported that a dolphin had been washed up on a Salobreña beach; this time it was La Herradura’s turn.
