Derek commented on this post about 3 days agoLife Drawing in Benidorm. Does anybody know of any Life Drawing sessions or groups in Benidorm? I am visiting from the 21st April and it would be cool to attend a life drawing session whilst I am in Benidorm.
This is a quick drawing I made on Wednesday evening at a group I attended in Urmston

Sorry, not been able to find any in Benidorm. There appear to be some in Alicante though if you were happy to travel there

Derek reacted to this post about 4 days agook, Since Hazel staterted the musical quiz, here goes. (no searching google!)
1. What is the only Blues song to have been number 1 in the UK?
Answer: Little Red Rooster (The Rolling Stones)
2. Give an alternative name to what is often referred to in most genres of Western Music as "the middle eight".
Answer: The Bridge or the Refrain
3. What does the "Gain" button on a mixing desk control?
Answer: Often confused for a volume control as adjustments do effect the volume. But it...ok, Since Hazel staterted the musical quiz, here goes. (no searching google!)More

3. What does the "Gain" button on a mixing desk control?
Answer: Often confused for a volume control as adjustments do effect the volume. But it controls input not output.
4. Tony Burrows has the distinction of having had 5 One Hit Wonders in the UK Charts. How is this possible?
Answer: He was the vocalist for "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse, "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man, "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by White Plains, "Gimme Dat Ding" by the Pipkins, "Beach Baby" by the First Class and "Let's go to San Francisco" by the Flower Pot Men. 5 of these 6 where one hit wonders. You could even debate all 6 as while Brotherhood of Man were not one hit wonders, it was their only hit while he was a member.
5. What age is Mick Jagger?
Answer: 82.
An excellent performance there from Kenneth Bumby. Basically if we had waited until Mick Jaggers Birthday in July it would have been 100%

The only one I can even guess at is that somehow Tony Burrows was involved with a lot of bands that were all one hit wonders.
No idea on the rest🤔 -
Jagger must be early 80s?
-
I'll give this post another few hours and then I'll edit it to reveal the answers.
-
2. Bridge
3. increases the input signal
5. 83
1. Little Red Rooster
No idea re Tony Burrows.. My guess is he went under different names for each More ...

Tracy commented on this post about 3 weeks agoWoo Hoo on my way back to Benidorm 26th April with the lovely Elaine. Doing a full on 'Garvey' all inclusive at the Rosamar. I know everyone says it is cheaper if you book independent and yes it is for the stay. But add meals for two, nights out and it works out similar cost.
The other caveat is that I stopped drinking alcohol in January whilst I was in Benidorm after years of problematic drinking, minimum 8 cans of Stella equivalent a night for over 45 years. Something clicked and I was...Woo Hoo on my way back to Benidorm 26th April with the lovely Elaine. Doing a full on 'Garvey' all inclusive at the Rosamar.

The other caveat is that I stopped drinking alcohol in January whilst I was in Benidorm after years of problematic drinking, minimum 8 cans of Stella equivalent a night for over 45 years. Something clicked and I was done with the drink. I wonder how much Lime and Soda I can drink at an all inclusive hotel 😂😂😂
If anyone is around say helloComments (4)-
There is nothing wrong with going All Inclusive at all if that is what suits you.
