The other day I popped into see Maria Tecce’s show, Viva! at the Assembly Rooms in George Street.  A warm intimate setting suffused in the most relaxing woodlet of standard lamps welcomes you in, from where Maria and her musicians whisk you away to Viva Espania!   This lady has a presence on stage and an eloquence of phrase that is indescribably rich with a sprinkling of mischief to keep you on your toes!   Viva! – the language of love where all horizons explored – are brought together in a fiesta of grand entertainment.

Accompanying Maria are three fine musicians, affectionately called, The Fecundoliers:  Malcolm MacFarlane on guitar,  Andy Mitchell on double base and Bob Turner on the accordion.  The various instrumental blends and the grandeur of Maria’s voice are sublime; from Spanish ballads and boss-a-nova, to jazz and rumba this is a marvelous show!  Enjoy this wonderful preview or better still go and see Viva! which is on till the 30th August!
