Music in the Square. good or bad idea?

[Gerry Howden]

If other parts of Carvoeiro feel they are missing out they could always book some of the acts themselves.

claro que é boa ideia. A musica no Largo só torna as noite de Verão mais agradáveis e divertidas. O que seria do Largo sem animação.
E não é só o turista que beneficia da música no Largo mas também toda a população local. bem haja, e espero que a música no Largo não acabe.

If you can't see the button it's because you've already voted.

Steen, I haven't voted and I've never seen the vote button. looking at the hits on this and the votes, I think there may be a few others, unless I'm being totally stupid here. I have had a good look though for the vote bit.

[Guest]

Steen, me again, is it possible that only registered members can vote!

[Guest]

You're right; only registered users are allowed to vote. It is how the forum is made and the only way to make absolutely sure that results are not twisted.

I'ts a great idea, adds to the atmosphere and brings people into the village.

I've just voted for music to be continued in the square. However, I've only ever seen it once on the six visits I've paid to Carvoeiro and that was during August 1993. All the other trips were off season - March or October/November.

Next visit is planned for the middle of March 03, will there be music then

It's definitely a great idea - I would love to see some out of seaon too! I know there's not loads of people and those of you who live there will say it's too cold. Believe me cold is England!! Coming to Carvoeiro in a couple of weeks - can't wait! Keep that good weather for me!

YES, YES, YES KEEP THE MUSIC IN THE SQUARE, THE SUMMER NIGHTS WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT IT.

IF the music is paid by the owners of the bars and restaurants on the square thats fine but if its paid by public money ( junta de freguesia )it not correct because those owners are making profit without spending any money and public money has to be spend in schools, better roads, hospitals for better health service, green parks etc and not to be spend for people shake they ass for free. thx p.s concerts must be paid show to every one

[Guest]

good idea like to see all the families in the square singing and dancing!

for free do u think thats rigth using public money what about all the other bars and restaurants on carvoeiro area like rocha brava, algarve sol , quinta do paraiso , monte carvoeiro etc dont u think they also deserve some respect by the politics they also pay tax and if they what live music on they places they have to pay a licence and also pay the musicians that cost them money but the ones on the square ohohoh those are making good money and not spending a penny do u think thats correct if u do u must visit real places for holidays where if u whant someting to have fun u must pay

[Guest]

The music in the square is paid for by the bars and restaraunts that surround it...ok!

Allright, allright, keep your allans on! (I love that movie )
The music on the square is sponsored by the restaurants/bars that profit from it, obviously. They have to purchase a licence just like everyone else and they also have to pay their musicians themselves.

If you pay several gazillion €€€ when you buy a place in that location (I am sure you can imagine first row sea-side is never cheap) you will be looking into ways to make some revenue.

Fair play to them, keep up the good work.
