THE BOOGIE BAND
Good time classic rock band "THE BOOGIE BAND" is led by U.K. 60's & 70's recording star "Frank Lee". Frank had several hits in the UK singing with a band called "Factory" before moving to live on the island of Ibiza at the end of the 90's. Frank decided the Ibiza music scene was missing a real live good time rock & roll band playing classic rock so he formed "THE BOOGIE BAND". After various lineup changes the band now has a talented combination of Frank Lee on lead vocals, Chris Langley on guitar & backing vocals, Pete Collins on bass & backing vocals & Danillo Martinez on drums. With a fast & exciting live show, "THE BOOGIE BAND" has gigged constantly over the last few years mainly in Ibiza but also in Spain & Northern Europe always making every "BOOGIE BAND" gig a real musical "party" with a "good time guarantee".

PROJECTE MUT
Born in Ibiza in 2005, Projecte Mut is the solitary project of singer and songwriter David Serra(Statuas de Sal) together with local boy done good, musican and producer, Joan Barbe. Between the two of them, they have devised a musical concept using their maternal tongue of Catalan, with a healthy smattering of folk-rock setting the overall tone. With lyrics inspired by the works of local Ibicenco poets set to an acoustic soundtrack, we doubt you´ve heard the likes of this before. A fusion of drums, electric and acoustic guitars, violin and the entire range of traditional Pitiusan instruments, ´castanyuelas' and the typical country folk drum, the ´espasi´ amongst them.

Ivan Domenech and '¿Te acuerdas del pop español?’
This musical project spans the golden age of Spanish pop in the 80s, and is a journey of more than two hours long, with a series of songs that are deeply implanted in the Spanish mind, body and soul. The creators of the project see the showcase as 'an interactive musical experience that invites you to sing and dance from the very first moment.'The band consists of: Ivan Domenech (vocals, guitar), Joan Barbé (guitar, vocals), Jano White (bass) and Fernando Hormigo (drums).
