The Viva Las Vegas Show was a complete sell-out, with not a ticket to be had anywhere. More than 190 people turned up at the Alandalus Restaurant, on the outskirts of Calasparra, last weekend to enjoy the show and help raise money for MABS Murcia NW.
Charles Prince and Christine King travelled from Mazarrón to entertain the audience with a feast of well known songs from Elvis Presley, Dusty Springfield and other famous stars who have appeared on the Las Vegas circuit. Adults and children alike were up dancing most of the night and the restaurant provided a range of tapas. The first prize for the raffle was kindly donated by La Mariposa Hotel, Gebas in the Sierra de Espuña – a quad biking session for 2, including lunch at the hotel. The raffle raised 506 € on the night, bringing the final total of funds for MABS to an incredible 1,156€.
MABS Co-ordinator, Cecilia Coulson, said “As people were leaving at the end of the night they were asking when the next show would be; in fact some people have asked to be on the waiting list for tickets. I have also received many emails saying what a fantastic night it was. As one lady remarked as she left: ‘Let’s have more’, so we will be organising another event very soon.” A new wheelchair has already been purchased with some of the funds raised.
