Music Hall In Barcelona ~

The term 'Music Hall', or Variety shows, almost always conjures up the image of the old days with artists in a variety of entertainment fields, solo or in small groups, each performing what they were specialized at, mostly with Victorian costumes and backgrounds. Even the audience were dressed likewise, with ladies in long gowns and bit hats, and the Gents in tailcoats and fancy neck scarves. Very often they were encouraged to join in especially in popular songs with funny lyrics.

Times have changed, but somehow Music Halls managed to remain, even flourishing in some countries. In England I can understand better, it's a very old and loved tradition there, but I didn't know before the Spaniards too are very fond of it, including some young people. Understandably, the type of programmes have changed and moved forward with time, but the ambience and 'feel' persist in certain aspects; some popular old time variety entertainment died off, now newer and trendier but still in the form of variety, meaning several totally different type of entertainment all in the same evening.

Ultimate Eagles ~

Staged as part of the Festival of Guitars of Barcelona is a concert by 'Ultimate Eagles', the best tribute of the world of mythical band from the United States. The band is formed by ingenious instrumentalists Danny Vaughn, Michael Lawrence, Christian Phillips, Chris Childs, Ryan Aston & Chris Wright. These brilliant musicians recreate with precision & respect some songs from popular rock groups in the music history, authors of universal hymns, like Hotel California, One of These Nights, Life in the Fast Lane, or Hole in the World.

Killing Joke ~

There are 2 different programmes forthcoming in the Music Hall of Barcelona. 'Killing Joke' is one, Post Punk group from London, considered band of international reference in the music industry, offering one and only performance on the 17th April. Intriguing name. Not at all sure how to interpret Killing Joke. Maybe that's the purpose, up to the public how they wish to interpret it.
