The stage is nearly finished...
Meanwhile visitors enjoying a bit of sunshine and as you can see a few children were playing in the sand. Around 4pm this afternoon. |

Portuguese rock band Xutos & Pontapés are to honour
their commitment to playing New Year’s Eve in Albufeira, without guitar
player, Zé Pedro, who died last month.
It will be the band’s first concert without the legendary guitar player. Reports state the band will play as a foursome and without an extra musician to substitute Zé Pedro. |

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

The point I was trying to make was that if you a regular holiday maker who can afford to stay there, not just at New Year, but any time of the year, then 280 euro for a night out wouldn't be a problem. In fact it's probably loose change for most of their customers.
Very few people who stay there ever complain about the prices they are charged - 5 euro for a can of coke/bottle of water. 8 euro for a small beer or ice cream, 15 euro per day for wi-fi, 60 euro a day to send your kid to the junior club, 14 euro for your kid to take part in the daily football match, at least 150 euro for dinner for 2 etc I'm sure there will be a lot of corporate clients but there but there will be plenty of "normal" people staying there over Xmas and New Year who would not find it too extortionate to attend that particular event. |

Sad news, but the obit I read in the Noticias said he passed after a long illness, so maybe the band have contingency plans? |

If the bill was £1000, how much would you have to earn to pay that? Depends on your tax rate but considerably more, probably half as much again. If your business is paying the £1000 less the VAT, as you claim it back, less the NIC’s, considerably less, safe to say that way it’s half the price at least and if you own the business it’s your money anyway so you’re managing your finances and tax bills and getting the same product/service for half the price. No brainer. |

Zé from Xutos has sadly passed away, so they will be looking for a new headline for NYE. I can’t imagine the rest of the band playing without him.

For the majority of pepple who stay there it' s pretty normal and they wouldn't bat an eyelid at 280 for New Years Eve. |

The quality of this conversation is on the slide already I see.
Any business types around here willing to host a table ? No. I thought not. On well, swilling beer all night in the alehouse will have to do. |

Yes but those takers are ‘corporate’ takers/punters which somewhat changes the goal posts, when ‘corporate’ are paying, be it reward or to impress, it’s easy to truck up. Compare that to paying for yourself out of taxed income... quite a different proposition.

Cheap by their standards. The summer gala they have in August each year is over 500 Euro for the full treatment and they are never short of punters. Fair play to them though they do know how to make money..

Wow €280 I think I'll stick to standing at the top of the escalators with a €10 bottle of procecco at midnight watching the display and doing a few pubs beforehand 🙈
