A town with so much talent

With a Council budget as tight as the proverbial fleas backside we knew there would have to be cuts in the programme for the Auditorium Francisco Grau. However, to have such a wonderful facility unused would have been a waste. The City Council had to become imaginative.

In a town, which has so much talent in the arts, it wasn't too hard for them to put on a programme featuring locals.

Musically we have

THE SOCIEDAD  UNIÓN MUSICAL DE BIGASTRO

CUADRUVIUM - a quartet of flutes

QUANTZ - saxophone group

BOHEMIAN - jazz group

AULIDE - a wind quintet

EL GRUPO PERCUSEVE

LOS MICROFENOS etc etc

There also is the THEATRE GROUP, the SCHOOL OF DANCING and goodness knows what other talent we haven't been privileged to  see yet.

Last night for example; SHOW FRIENDS provided a spectacular show of their dance skills. 

Most of the group are very young and must have been nervous performing on stage. They needn't have worried though because their audience of "friends" encouraged them with shouts of "guapa" and "guapo".

Goodness knows how many hours of practice it takes to perfect so many complex turns and such dazzling footwork. They were damn good entertainment.
