Page 31 Melody Makers Variety Show In Aid of Debra – The Butterfly Children
The Costa’s leading popular choral group, Melody Makers International, will be presenting the latest in their increasingly successful series of shows on Saturday 25th June in the exotic surroundings of the Orihuela Costa Resort Hotel at La Zenia. The two shows, at 2pm and 8pm, are entitled ‘A Century of Popular Songs’ and will include many famous smash hit songs.
Starting with a fabulous medley of 1920s favourites, the show moves through the decades and will include a Wartime selection (1940s), the fabulous music of the 60s and 70s (Bowie, Beatles, Beach Boys etc.) and, of course, Abba. The second half of the concert will concentrate on the remaining decades of the century, bringing us up to the present day with the music of Beyonce, Adele, Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion. There is something for everyone in this packed variety show, including the eagerly-awaited comedy duets for which these shows are renowned, all accompanied by a professional band from the UK and conducted by local maestro Nigel Hopkins.
For the second time this year Melody Makers are supporting the children’s charity Debra - the Butterfly Children, for children with the horrible condition EB which leaves them horribly scarred, or even worse, which can result from the merest touch of their skin. The Melody Makers concert in January raised 3,000€ for the charity, and choir director Nigel Hopkins is keen to match that magnificent figure with this concert.
Tickets for the shows - priced again at 10€ (afternoon) and 12€ (evening) are available from La Ponderosa Gift Shop at La Zenia, as well as The Card Place at both Punta Prima and Benimar. Tickets can also be obtained from the Debra charity shops in Quesada and San Fulgencio.
