Line Dancing in the Drop Inn

I would just like to clarify that Line Dancers are very welcome at the Drop Inn. There seems to have been a few rumours going round that they are not welcome and that I do not want them in the bar. This is complete rubbish and I always try to sing and play music for line dancers when they are in the bar. I have been working with line dancing in Tenerife since 1992 so I am hardly going to say goodbye to all my long standing clients! If line dancers come in the bar and want to hear anything special then please ask me. We can also make more room by moving tables if necessary.

Obviously we have to cater for everyone and all nationalities as you cannot run a business in any other way in a holiday resort. I try to play for everyone and make everyone welcome.

So please feel free to Line Dance if that is what you wish to do. EVERYONE IS WELCOME!!

Drop Inn last night

It has been very busy in the Drop Inn over Xmas and New Year.  Every night seems like a party night.  The atmosphere has been very good.  There are all types of people coming in and from all different countries.  Thanks for all your continued support and a Happy New Year to everyone!

Saturday 8th January 2009

Today we have been to Elsies birthday party.  She has her party here every year.   Tonight we will be celebrating in the Drop Inn, no doubt.

Drop Inn Xmas Staff Meal

These are some photos from our staff meal from the Drop Inn.  The owner, Gaspar, took us all to Rodeo Restaurant which is an Argentian style restaurant serving a lovely buffet and the waiters come round constantly with different cuts of meat.  We had a lovely lunch.  Thanks to Gaspar!

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a good Xmas. We had a great time in the Drop Inn. It was a fantastic atmosphere over the Xmas period and very busy. Tonight should be another great night as we have had lots of reservations. Should be very lively! Happy New Year to you all!

My Christmas Song Played on BBC Radio on Christmas Day!

My Christmas song, Christmas Time is Magical, sung by my 12 year old son, Luke was played on BBC Radio Lancashire on the Gerald Jackson show on Christmas night. If you would like to listen to it you can click go to BBC Radio Lancashire's website and on the top right hand corner click on Listen Again. Then click on Gerald Jackson's show on the 25th December. You can here my song around about 2.45 mins into the show. You can just use the slider button at the bottom of the page to find it.

Busy in the Drop Inn

It has been very busy over the last week in the Drop Inn. Normally it does go a bit quieter before Christmas, but so far this has not happened yet in the Drop Inn! People seem to be having a great time and enjoying themselves. We will be having some fun and party nights over the Christmas and New Year period.

NEW CHRISTMAS CD AVAILABLE NOW!!!

If anyone would like one of my new Christmas CD's with me singing Christmas songs please get in touch asap to get the last post for Christmas. Only 10 euros each including postage.

Very busy in the Drop Inn!

It was still very busy last night in the Drop Inn. We thought it may quieten down a little as it does sometimes just before Xmas, but no, it was heaving last night.

Today we have been up to Puerto De La Cruz to collect two people who are staying in our apartment in Playa de Las Americas for two weeks. We decided, therefore, to make a day of it and went to the Monastery Restaurant. It is a lovely old Monastery that has been converted into a restaurant. There are lots of animals there and some run around the restaurant! It was all nicely decorated for Christmas as you can see from the above photo!! I had roast lamb and we also tried goose! The weather was a little different in the North and it even rained on the way home.

A surprise visitor to Tenerife!

Yesterday we had a surprise visitor! It was Kris (Buffalo) Robins!! Many of you will remember Kris Robins who worked here as a Country Singer. He worked for a long time in the Las Vegas Bar and before that with me as a duo called "ALIAS" in the Acapulco Bar back in 1992!!

He is now married to Joel, who is French, and is living in Paris! He may pop down to the Drop Inn on Sunday night to relive a little bit of ALIAS. If he does, then we will post it on here!

Ron and his Ron Miel

Here is Ron drinking his Ron Miel. Ron Miel is a Canarian liqueur made from Rum and Honey. Some people like drinking it if they have a sore throat or a cold, however, Ron didn´t have either!

Last Night in The Drop Inn

Two more happy faces in the Drop Inn last night!

Three Happy Faces in The Drop Inn Last Night

A Full House at the Drop Inn

Another busy night last night at the Drop Inn. It´s like one big family as there are so many people out at the moment that all know each other. The atmosphere has been great.

Very Busy in the Drop Inn

It is very, very busy now at the Drop Inn. I start singing at 8.30pm and I would suggest you get here early to get a good seat. Many people come every night to see me and like to reserve their table every night. This is okay if you come in early. Look forward to seeing you soon!!!

The Drop Inn on 11th November

Last night was a very busy night in the Drop Inn. Lots of familiar faces back. For many it was the first time in the Drop Inn and I am pleased to say they all really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is just like the old Acapulco Days.

It is especially good now that the weather has started to cool down at nights. To be outside on a cold windy terrace is no fun!! The weather in the winter can be changeable. In fact, at the moment it has just started to rain outside!! Thank god, I am inside tonight!

The Drop Inn is Open Again!!

Just to let you know that I am now back in The Drop Inn. It was closed for a few days due to problems with noise. Thankfully it has now been sorted out. Unfortunately, here in Tenerife it only takes one person to make a complaint about noise and it can cause lots of problems. I am not a particulary loud artist and this is the first time that I have had this happen. Unfortunately, it was not actually the Drop Inn that was causing the problems, but another venue close by.
Anyway, I am glad to say things are back to normal now. We are looking forward to a busy November with lots of familiar faces due back.

October 9th in the Drop Inn

This is a little clip from last night in the Drop Inn. It has been very busy all week with lots of regulars in and lots of new faces too. People seem to be happy with the change. There are never two nights the same in the Drop Inn. The atmosphere has been very good.
