Hi there Alan & Eric, just wondering when you are coming to CVO again, we will be over in 3 weeks and would be good to see you performing in the jailhouse

[Candelabra Al]

Hello Jay,

Only just seen your message on the forum or I would have replied earlier.

Unfortunatley the infamous Candelabra's have decided to take a break from the life sapping world they call Rock & Roll and so have hung the guitars up in the most fitting place we could find - The Outhouse!

I know this news will come as a blow to many of you out there - who's that sniggering? - but the batteries need to be recharged and Eric need's a haircut.

Hope you had a great time in CVO and the old man at the Jailhouse kept you entertained.

I will be coming over week commencing 19th June for a few days and look forward to seeing a few friends and who knows I may be persuded by that velvet tongued chap they call Bobby Stardust to 'do a turn' as they say up here in north.

Bye for now
Ex-Candelabra Al

Presumably there is a support group to help your legions of fans cope with the break up

Good luck for the future

[Candelabra Al]

Funny you should mention that Tricky.

A small contribution from fans (to pay for administration fees etc) should be left in a small brown paper package behind the bar at the Jailhouse which on my arrival in the resort will be collected and a support poster will be distributed accordingly.

Seriously though we did plan the breakup to coincide with Take That getting back together in order to 'soften the blow':roll:

It's been a long time (I think theres a song title in there somewhere!)Al,hope you are keeping well and Eric is looking "Trimmer".Why not reform for a reunion tour to coincide with the up and coming "Who are you?"tour in September and as for a new band name try "Free Beer" who knows if you do play at the Stardust's youn can gaurantee the place will be packed (as usual)

[ALAN G]

Just so happens I will be over again at the beginning of September - can't wait and no doubt assisting his bobbyness in his frugal activities - (that's entertaining to you!).

Erics hair has now been shampood and set so he is ready to roll - looks very fetching with his blue rinse! - don't know if he can make in Sept - but I'm sure he will try.

Be good to see some familiar faces in the Jailhouse - who will be there for the first 2 weeks of Sept?

Al.

Hi Alan..well Ill be in CVO but not sure about Jailhouse. But I feel sure 'Cleopatra' will be there in some of her finest,silken knitwear
From what Ive heard, she usually parks herself on the stairs
Happy strumming

[ALAN G]

Well, looks there's going to be quite a few folks over in Sept - I can see I'm going to have to pace myself and stay off the Madronia!

Nice to hear from you Ellie, be good to see you - as long as you dont try to lock me in the supermarket fridge again! - maybe we could have that drink together this time round?

The weather back here in blighty is absoloutely fantastic at the moment, with everyone moaning ' it's too hot' - can't win can you

Here's to good times in September.

Candelabra Al.

A drink would be nice..but don't make it Medronha for me( ) just a lovely big iced rosy spritzer ta
Hope to see you both then,
ellie

[ALAN G]

Well looks like summers been and gone here in the UK

So I can't wait to be in Carvoeiro in September and just to get me in the mood I decided to cook some Piri Piri chicken on the BBQ at the weekend.

Made my own marinade with a little help from Karen's recipe at the Jailhouse - mixed some olive oil with garlic, red chilli peppers, paprika, salt and WHISKEY - Jack Daniels to be precise

Cut the backbone from the chicken in order to butterfly it and gave it a good soaking in the marinade.

Have to say it tasted fantastic and despite the rain we managed to get reasonably tipsy with the help of some rose wine and a few bottles of Stella!

Anyone else out there had a go at making Piri Piri? would like to hear about your recipes/ideas.

See you all very soon - Candelabra Al.

[Ellie]

That sounded like the 'real McCoy' Alan !

Yes I have tried chicken Pirpiri here at home...I used a ready made Piri mixture (in small bottle)..it was ok but didn't taste quite the same as in CVO....
think you need the ambience?
on the other hand,it could be my cooking
Now icecream Im ok with..take out of freezer..then serve!
nite

[ALAN G]

Hmmmm, Were back that freezer again Ellie,

Is there something you would like to share with us?

[Ellie]

Hmmmm, Were back that freezer again Ellie,

Is there something you would like to share with us?

Yeah,okay then. Alan...I do have a passion for it
Specially in those famous cones mmm

[edgarallen]

Apart from coming in from the the cold Ellie,i know that this going to sound like a completley southern shandy willing question. Are you going to be in the "Jail" on Wednesday the 13th September even though you have said you will only be out for the first two weeks of September.
Cant wait for you to play a medley of Bobbie's greatest hit!
