Tenerife Entertainers - the island's top acts

Although I've done a page on "Nightlife", there are many Tenerife entertainers who have been working successfully on the island for many years and are still there now. They, I feel, merit their own section on this website.

Though a relatively small island, Tenerife is positively packed with entertainers and, subsequently, they have to struggle to maintain regular work. (As an entertainer myself in Tenerife for 11 years, I know this only too well.)

I'll include as complete a list here as I can manage of all the entertainers who have stood the test of time, are still working regularly and have a loyal following.




Katy Kennedy

A formidable comedienne, this very nice lady in real life can come out with some very adult humour - be warned!

Cy Benson

He has the looks of a black American blues singer, but, when he talks, a Welsh accent comes out! Consistently voted best male vocalist on the island.

Dee Daniels

Bubbly Irish singer with a gutsy voice.

Rick Porter

Arriving on the island during my stint there, he's never looked back. Initially performing one of the most uncannily accurate Barry Manilow tributes I've ever heard, he now performs his "Solid Gold 60s Show".

John Ashford

This talented guitarist/vocalist performs an excellent Buddy Holly tribute, but has an alter-ego, known as "Shy Ted", specialising in 50s rock 'n' roll.

Dion

Real name Ian Sladen, he took his stage name from the group Dion and the Belmonts, because he liked their music. He presents a fun rock 'n' roll show, with comedy thrown in.

Not The Real Elvis

You might hear one or two Elvis songs in this extremely funny and silly show by my mate Paul Goldney, but that's where any resemblance to "The King" ends. Been on the island for years and still going strong.


this list is by no means complete!
