Siesta Fiesta at Childerley

With the hottest weekend of the year, things turn out amazing for this well organised and great mini festival celebrating great food and wines from Spain.

You can’t go wrong with Los Amigos full band, who performed in the beautiful surroundings of this farm.

“Hi Javier,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for being part of the Siesta Fiesta.

Everyone enjoyed your performances – I heard lots of people commenting on the band as they left the event – and it was wonderful to have great live music creating such a fabulous atmosphere. I hope that you all enjoyed your afternoon in the sunny Cambridgeshire countryside. I still can’t believe how lucky we were with the weather!

We are all delighted with the success of the event, and hope to do more in the future. We will be in touch!

All the best”

Elie and the Childerley Team

Jessica & Dale, Kingscote Barn 2/5/14

Kingscote Barn in Gloucestershire is a really lovely wedding venue, and on this occasion Jessica asked me to play solo some happy music after the ceremony, a mi of the Gipsy Kings and English covers while the guests enjoyed the canapes, sangria and bubbly around the peaceful surroundings.

A really nice couple and space to celebrate the big day.

Emma & Chris 18/04/14

A very special wedding in a very special location, the Asylum in Peckham. Los Amigos trio played 1 set during the meal, and then another one with the first dance and dancing party.

Probably one of the most beautiful stages we have had, the couple said: “You guys are awesome, we loved it”.

As it often happens, after hearing the band another couple requested our services for their own wedding, but unfortunately we were already booked!

60th Birthday at Del’Aziz Clapham

Anne Marie booked Los Amigos trio for her mum’s 60th, and chose the lovely Del’Aziz in Clapham, London to celebrate the party.

During the interval I had the chance to meet a very special guest, the comedy genius and sex god Earl Okin, who played a few songs during the interval. Although he appears grumpy in the picture, he is a very friendly man.

A fantastic night, Anne Marie would say: “Guys that was fantastic everybody loved you!”

 

Javier Moreno is the winner of Vocalist of the year category at the LUKAS AWARDS 2014

Congratulations to the very own Los Amigos Band singer and guitarist Javier Moreno for being the winner of the LUKAS AWARDS 2014 in the category of Vocalist of the year. Javier has also been selected as Runner up as Musician of the year.

The Latin-UK AwardS (LUKAS) is the world’s first ever awards ceremony to recognise the contribution of Britain’s one million Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese residents. It is a fantastic, colourful, and entertaining celebration of Britain’s rapid growing passion for all things Latino.

The LUKAS is now in its 3rd year and growing astonishingly quickly. After a spectacular 2nd year that saw ballet star Tamara Rojo, fashion queen Vivienne Westwood, and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour join our presenters, TV stars Boris Izaguirre and Yanet Fuentes, in congratulating the award winners, the LUKAS gala ceremony has grown into an international event.

The LUKAS 2013 became the most media covered Latin event in UK history. It ​made national TV news in the UK (BBC), Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, on Latin regional channels such as ESPN and UNIVISION. It was covered by more than 90 press, radio and TV media and 6,000 social media and websites, reaching over 10 million people. Whilst the UK voted for its favourite Latin dancers, musicians, footballers and restaurants, the global media coverage created a surge of voting from Latin America itself, each country supporting its footballers and compatriots abroad.
