Hey there bloggers it has been another busy week on planet Fanzini and we are as the saying goes in the thick of it so to speak. Our busy season. We no sooner get home from our trip to the big smoke in the form of Gibbstown and Dundrum than we are off again this time though not so far away but this time only to Killarney where our residency for the summer season begins in the Quailty Hotel in Killarney. For the next two months we are going to be coming out here three times a week to do a show for the residents. This particular hotel is on the outskirts of Killarney and provides what some would describe as the perfect family holiday. It is a very large modern hotel which has many holiday homes and apartments attached and they really do pull out all the stops to entertain the family from morning to night they really do a crew of pros whose only job is to entertain the kids and give the parents a break.
Anyway we fit into this plan by providing a show at about 7.30 in the evening in the outside area. We generally enjoy these shows and it is nice every once in a while not to have to drive for four hours before doing the show and then drive all the way back again.
We also use these shows sometimes to debut new material that we may be working on the kids are generally very good and well supervised so we just get on with the show.
Our boss who you can see in the photos is Derek o Leary and a sounder bloke you could not wish to meet. He gets the job done and done to a high standard but yet he still manages to be liked by all of his staff or so it seems. He just knows how to manage people with a deft touch. Would that all bosses were like him workplaces would be a joy everywhere. The Fanzini Brothers always bring our own laughter anyway just in case of emergencies.
Another upside to the work in the quality hotel is that after the show both brothers get to relax in the well appointed leisure center. One of the perks of the job. There is a moderate sauna and a hot sauna. Ronaldo and i both sauna regularly as part of a rigorous programme of decadence and we both come out feeling refreshed. We have now started to demand an on site sauna as part of our requirements for gigs generally about the place, so far no luck but we keep asking undeterred.
