August is the month when Jumilla celebrates its Vendimia over the two weeks of the Feria & Fiestas, however in recent years it has also become the month when we raise funds for Cuatro Patas through Guau Wines, so why not see out August with some great wines and music?
The 6th edition of Guau Wines will take place on 31 August in Plaza de Santa Maria, Jumilla, starting at 21.30. Twenty bodegas have donated wine, so there should be something for everyone’s taste, and there will be catering too. No need to have dinner before you go there!
The opening act will be the multi-talented Johnny Sax, who was the vocalist, sax and harmonica player with the Climax Blues Band ten years ago, as well as playing in his own Johnny Pugh band. Now he lives in Spain, where his gigs are popular with the local Spanish community as well as Brits living in the area. I’m hoping he will sing “Walking the Dog” for me to dance to!
The following acts will be Alberto Alcalá, who has just released his second disc “Tragaluz” and finally the blues and rock group Traslapers. I look forward to listening to (and probably dancing to!) them as well.
Tickets cost 15€, which includes a glass to taste the different wines, plenty of wines and food to keep you going and of course great music. Tickets are available from the local veterinary clinics Urbano and Mascoticas.
It should be a memorable evening – hope to see you there!
