"I have always wanted to name an album 'Reggae Reggae Man', because every time I walk into a gig, whether itís in America, Europe, or Africa, they say 'Here comes the Reggae Reggae Man,' ", said Greg.
"So, one day I just decided to start writing some songs, then gave them all a Reggae rhythm, and call it 'Reggae Reggae Man'," said Greg, Hot Chocolate lead singer from 1992-2010.
Greg, who performed in Insbruck, Austria, with Bonnie Tyler; and in Vienna in 2022, along with a plethora of gigs across the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida, said: "The album took about a year to complete.
"I wrote, recorded and produced the album myself, then sent it to my friend Flo Daxner in Austria to master it - as I canít master stuff at home."
Murcia based Greg added: "The songs are all little stories, nothing too heavy to digest! It's available on all platforms: iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and wherever you get your music
Vega Baja Hospital Needs 179 More Nurses To Guarantee Care
A study by the SATSE union reveals a major lack of health professionals, including eight midwives and six physiotherapists, in the Orihuela Health Department.
The number of nurses per thousand inhabitants in the Orihuela Health Department is also below the national and regional average, and, although last year the Department of Health increased the structural staff in the department, the real needs are still far from being covered.
The study reflects that while the average number of nurses in Spain, according to the Ministry of Health, is 3.5 nurses per thousand inhabitants, and in the Valencian Community it is 3.2, the ratio is in Orihuela is 2.5, equating to a lack of 179 nurses, if the authority is to provide the correct quality of care.
Specifically, the ICU needs 12 more nurses while the Emergency Department needs 10.
In the meantime, the management insists that "it will continue to work toward achieving the improvement of resources both in personnel and in infrastructure and equipment."
