Sun 23 Dec Sala 1, Christmas party with Disco Machine Gun + The Pocketmen + Zinedines.

This is going to be a fantastic party, The Zinedines with a sound that will remind you of the Beach Boys in their Pet Sound days, are the second best band on the island according to The Pocketmen.

The Pocketmen, if you have not seen them yet, are an all British band who perform their own material with a sound that comes straight out of the Beatles era of the late 60’s.

Starts at midnight until the early hours, entry 5€

Find us at the old Belle Epoque, Gomila, Palma above Foto Kiosco and at www.casinoroyale.es.

ECHO & THE BUNNYMENPALMAAccording to the bands website they are playing a free gig on the night of the San Sebastian celebrations. Nobody in Palma could confirm this at the time of going to press, but it would seem that they will appear somewhere on that night. A great band with many hits throughout the early 80’s and 90’s who split and then reformed to create more good music, most recently with the very good album Siberia in 2005. They are reported to be working on a new album and from the feedback of the summer festivals this year, they sound as good now as they did 25 years ago.

SAN SEBASTIAN CELEBRATIONS PALMAAt the time of going to press nobody can or is allowed to tell us what is happening where on this lively night in Palma. If you’ve never been, you should this year. Take your own food and drink. There are open barbecues on the street for cooking food and many squares have live music. Usually this does not start until around 22.00 and goes on until the early hours. As far as we can tell these are the music styles for each of the squares, but it may change.Pl. Cort - easy listening bands playing covers Pl. Santa Eulalia - jazz, swing, bluesPl. de Sant Francesc - flamencoPl. Joan Carles I - rock/alternativePl. España - pop-rock, probably the big pop names in Spain at the moment (moved from pl. Major for safety reasons)Pl. Olivar- variety show / revuePl. de la Reina - hip-hop, electro, dj’sPl. des Mercat - Latin, salsaPl. Major- folk, trad mallorquin / CatalanProbably also worth checking is Ses Voltes by Parc de la Mar as this area usually has the more rebellious music, punk, ska, rock etc.

Sat 19 Jan from 22.00All over Palma and it’s free
