Hi Friends,

 

Following on from the magnificent success of our previous visit, I’m thrilled to say we’re heading back to Portugal from 10th –17th October 2023 and once again returning to the Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort & Spa Hotel just outside Albufeira. This promises to be another fantastic week of music, fun and relaxation in the beautiful sun-drenched Algarve.

 

We are thrilled to say Mike Denver & his band AND Michael English & his band will be headlining the week as well as being joined by some of Ireland’s top entertainers including Brendan Shine, Gerry Guthrie, Dominic Kirwan, Big Chief - Kevin Kearney, Shawn Cuddy, Jim Devine, The Conquerors, John McNicholl, John Molloy, Ciarán Rosney, Emma Donohue and more!

 

The Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort & Spa Hotel, which overlooks the ocean, has excellent facilities throughout and miles of sun-drenched, golden sandy beaches for you to stroll along - it’s truly an amazing holiday paradise.

 

Once again, you have a choice of deluxe rooms in the hotel or one of the deluxe 1- or 2-bedroom villas on the hotel grounds (with your own kitchen). The furthest villa on the grounds is only a 2-minute walk away from our function room. We also offer a buggy service to and from your villa if required. We wish to advise that there is a room supplement charge on single rooms, sea view rooms, resort view suites and sea view suites in the hotel.

Breakfast is included in the package however evening meals are not. If you wish, you can add on the half-board option at check-in on arrival at the hotel. The half-board option costs €80 per person for the week. A glass of wine, a bottle of beer or a soft drink will be provided at each meal.

Alternatively, if you wish to dine out, there is a wonderful selection of restaurants downtown in Albufeira, just 5 minutes from the hotel. We have organised a courtesy bus to take you to and from the town where there are many fine restaurants to choose from. We will of course have you back in time for the music as the courtesy bus operates every 30 minutes.

 

There will be dance classes with Pat and Patricia throughout the week also to teach the jive, waltz etc.

As usual there will be some great day time music sessions by the pool side and of course, many of our magic music nights are sure to run into early mornings once again in the Jiggy Jiggy Bar.

 

I know we are all looking forward to a great holiday so don’t delay and book your place today. We have put an easy payment plan in place so if you wish, you can pay for your holiday of a lifetime between now and 18th July (12 weeks before departure) please contact our booking office for further details. Enquire also with our office about flights from your most convenient departure airport, we will try to facilitate you as best we can.

I can assure you that with the current world energy crisis that we are all experiencing, we are doing our utmost to provide the best possible price to you our valued guests.

I really can’t wait to meet you all in Portugal from 10th - 17th October 2023 for a week of music, sun and fun to remember!
