Aug 19 - The Inspiration Behind Local Musicians…Check Out David’s Podcasts
For the past three months, David J. Díaz has been tracking down and interviewing local musicians. The interviews have been posted as a series of podcasts on: http://inspriedby.podomatic.com
The series of frank and in depth interviews is titled “Inspired By…” and during his encounters with musical personalities, David has attempted to uncover the varied backgrounds of the performers who contribute to Gibraltar’s vibrant music scene.
The Gibraltar Tourist Board recently hosted a dinner at La Mamela for a group of visiting New Yorkers including Gina Casella, a well-known Italian-American businesswoman in the Big Apple and director of the tour operator Adriana Trigiani Tours. Gina explained that her company specialises in European trips and said that she was well acquainted with the Rock having spent time here in the mid 1990’s.
Two local men were cleared this morning of wounding a man in an incident that took place last December. Richard Valarino and Tyrone Garcia were found not guilty of wounding with intent, wounding and criminal damage after the alleged victim in the case withdrew his complaint against the defendants following an earlier negative statement made to the police.
Several of the inflatable waterparks installed at beaches have been damaged as a result of the bad weather conditions and severe easterly winds which hit the Rock over the weekend. Some of the units were deflated and stored away while others which came loose and ended up on the shore, have had to be secured as best as possible.
