Photos from the Rockin' Race

I'm back from the Rockin' Race in Torremolinos in southern Spain, which had some excellent acts performing. Here are some photos. First, 77 year old Young Jessie, who was great.

Here is the dynamic, rocking Barrence Whitfield, who was backed superbly by Mambo Jambo.

This is the 'Human Jukebox', Sleepy LaBeef.

This is Kim Lenz with the Spanish Jaguars.

 

 Mike Sanchez.

 American surf guitar band Los Straight Jackets with wrestling masks.

They had an exciting act, which was further enlivened by a burlesque dancer named Eva.

 Shadows-style band The Rapiers, with Colin Pryce-Jones.

 Instrumental band Mambo Jambo really rocked the hall.

 Rollin' Records Southern Sound featured Adam Burney on harmonica and Wayne Hopkins on guitar.

 Portuguese band the Mean Devils.

 The Hi-Tones.



Mike Sanchez celebrated his 50th birthday with a great solo show at the Buensol Hotel and was joined on stage by Barrence Whitfield and members of Mambo Jambo.
