The Grand Tour

THERE will be a free concert in the Valencian gothic St Bartholomew Church­Fortress (Plaça de l’Església, 03730 Javea) on February 24 at 9pm.

Entitled ‘The Colours of Music, The Grand Tour’, the concert’s theme is the practice at the end of the 17th century of sending children on a journey around Europe ­ the Old Continent ­ to supplement their education. This tradition became fashionable among the European aristocracy, especially the British. The objective was to get to know other countries, to come into contact with the great cultures of the past and to provide a necessary requirement for their cultural and social education before entering adulthood. With this programme, the organisers aim to present a sample of the music that the students who were doing the Grand Tour would have been able to listen to. like to dispose of some of your own books, tables cost just €10 (all of which will go to charity); otherwise, come along for a browse.

LOVE and fun were in the air when over 70 diners enjoyed a fabulous night’s Dinner at Satari’s. Still, sadly without the ever­constant face and organiser of all U3A Social Events, Tony Old, supported by Jan, who were both cuddled up in bed that night …. with Covid…!

A delicious meal was followed by the romance of Duo Intermezzo. Hector unveiled his new swing style Dean Martin and other Rat Pack songs, showing he is an excellent crooner.

Abi congratulated his supporters in the kitchen and front of house and introduced his partners for his new venture.
