It was off to Spain again this week with Vision Express
A very early start after the gig the night before in London. We managed 2 hours sleep before driving to Luton to fly to Alicante
Vision Express hold an exhibition and awards ceremony every year and we were invited along to perform for their party
The venue was the beautiful Barcelo Asia Gardens Hotel & Spa with amazing views across the skyline of Benidorm
We flew out the day before and were invited that evening to join the guests at the world famous Benidorm Palace for a night of entertainment!
It was such a great night. We had a 6 course meal and 2 hours of entertainment including dancers, singers, acrobats, trampolinists and balancing acts! Much better than we had anticipated.
The next day we managed a few hours lazing by the pool before soundcheck and a cheeky orange juice in the sun!
It was a long afternoon sound checking back at the conference room at the hotel before getting ourselves ready for the show.
We had actually been booked to perform our 80′s tribute show SO 80′S, but managed to convince the organiser to allow us to perform as MADHEN as he’d never seen us do this set!
We had kindly been given a table in the venue and another huge meal before we sloped off to get changed before our performance.
The crowd by this point were raring to get going on the dance floor. DJ Adrian Hughes was there to start the party, he always plays a great set!
We performed to an energetic crowd who were such fun and made us feel like part of their party. So many people came up to us afterwards and said how much fun they’d had. It was lovely to speak to so many of them and they were over the moon with our performance and want us back next year!
Helen, Matthew & Mike even got dragged onto the dance floor after the gig and were last seen jumping up and down to Kate Perry’s ‘Firework’…they don’t get out much!!!
Oh this year I’m off to sunny Spain…

Well maybe not so sunny, but we flew out to Malaga from Stansted this week for a party for Best Western
The event was at the Hotel Don Carlos in Marbella
After soundcheck we had a quick drink in the hotels piano bar before getting ready for that evenings performance
This was the last night for the hoteliers and their suppliers to really let their hair down, and that they did!
We performed three sets from the 70′s to today and donned our 70′s flairs for the first set too! It was disco stomping from the word go and the crowd were such fun and very complimentary.
Thanks so much to all the people involved in the event and those who took the time to come and say thanks after the event.
We hope to see some of you again soon
It was such a shame the weather hadn’t been better, but a great time was had by all nonetheless.
We’re back to Spain next week too…
Thank you for the music…

We received a lovely thank you card from Charlotte & Katie @ WRG Creative Communications Ltd regarding our recent trip to Barcelona. We had great fun that night and it’s always nice to get feedback and thanks after the event.
We look forward to working with them again in the near future !
Love from all at Madhen x x x x x
Here’s what they said:
Just a note to say thank you for coming out to Barcelona and for performing so magnificently. We’ve received lots of comments that you were the best party band ever! Praise indeed! As a token of thanks I’ve enclosed a DVD which includes some of your performance and a CD-Rom of Photography taken on the night.
Thanks so much!
Until next time…
Charlotte & Katie @ WRG
