Following the very successful "Open Air Music Festival" at the Pedrera, this week there was more entertainment. Two singers and a drag act were booked to appear in the new outdoor area. This time though there were so few people there it was almost embarrassing. Whether it was because there was no offer of free food or because the posters advertising the event were put up too late is hard to say.It was a risky venture anyway. Drag artists are not everybody's taste and Stevie Spit was no Danny La Rue. He had to work hard to connect with the Spaniards who were there. I got the impression that he wasn't expecting that. We enjoyed his act but understand that others may well have been offended by his language and acidic comments about members of the audience. Stevie's act probably goes down well in the clubs of Benidorm but was perhaps out of place at the Pedrera.
The new owners of the Pedrera are obviously keen to make their new outdoor area a success. They may have to rethink what sort of events are going to achieve that goal.
