Denmark: And Mads Langer doesn’t let a small thing like lockdown make him down his mic.
Mads sold 500 tickets for a concert at Tangkrogen outside Aarhus, Denmark’s second city after Copenhagen.
The cars were rockin’ and rollin’!
Airport movies
Bringing some colour into our lives
Edinburgh Airport: And all of this drive-thrumania has been triggered by the news that my local airport Edinburgh is putting on a Halloween offering.
Drive-ins were always the stuff of James Dean movies (the first drive-in cinema was actually New Jersey, not LA).
You never forget your first time though and that for me was Toronto and a Bond movie, The Living Daylights. And while our first albums are usually embarrassing I’m happy with that choice.
Anyhoos back to Edinburgh. You’ll get Ghostbusters, Hocus Pocus, Coco, The Lost Boys, Jaws (not nearly as terrifying at Universal Studios Hollywood) and Halloween.
November brings us Back to the Future, Rocketman, Mamma Mia and more.
There’s entertainment galore, food and drink from local producers Cold Town Beer and Alandas plus DJ Captain Calverto will entertain you before each film with car discos. singalongs and quiz fun.
They’ve offered me (and I guess you too) the chance to win tickets.
And you might even see a plane flying overhead… and hopefully I’ll be on it.
And, yes, I know that that last post is on Athens but it’s just a teaser.
And on that trip to Athens, Kythera and the Attica region my colleague Dutch Bas flagged up what he thought was Greece’s best city, Thessaloniniki.
He obviously knows his stuff… it’s just I like to check these things out for myself.
Lauda and louder
I didn’t always turn the telly over when the Grand Prix came on… in the days of Nikki Lauda and James Hunt I did follow them around the chicanes (whatever the heck that is).
While, of course, the film Rush with Chris Hemsworth, also reminded us of the fantastic story of their rivalry and ultimate friendship.
I’m reliably informed by my female friends that Chris Hemsworth in a film greatly increases the enjoyment levels.
Nikki Lauda, who we lost this year remained a huge figure in Formula 1, broke into airplanes (and by that I mean launched his own livery rather than cracked the lock).
Ryanair’s fully owned Austria subsidiary Laudamotion is to increase frequency on its Vienna to Dublin route from daily to eleven times weekly from March 29-October 25.
And here’s a reminder of what Austria http://www.austria.info has to offer both in winter and in the spring, summer, autumn…
And seeing we’ve just put one election to bed in the UK and are preparing for an Irish election over here while the Americans also have it all to do next year too..,
