The Vale da Telha Music Festival is back!
After a year’s hiatus our very own outdoor feast of live music is returning to the Old School House at Vales.
And once again admission is FREE!
Amovate’s Vale da Telha Music Festival 2013 will be staged on Saturday August 24th so mark the date down in your diaries.
The bars will be open from 7pm, with the live entertainment expected to begin around 7.30—7.45pm running through to approximately 12.30am.
There will be three bars—two beer bars and the third selling wines, spirits and soft drinks.
We are in talks with the Bombeiros, who we hope will make food like bifanas available to buy from a food stall operated by them. We will post updated information here once we have made all the arrangements.
Amovate has asked Brian “DJ Rockindad” Jutsum to host the event and will be introducing three wonderful acts to keep you entertained—and dancing!
Amovate would also like to thank the three acts who have generously reduced their normal fees, as our Music Festival exists to raise money for our charity fund and because we are not charging admission.
The acts we have booked (with Brian’s mini-review on each one, and in the order in which they will be performing) are:
1: Ana Messias:
“Ana is a solo singer with a fantastic voice and she will be singing everything from Adele to Gloria Gaynor. When not performing solo she has her own hard rock band Orange, so maybe she will throw in a little bit of AC/DC as well!”
2: The 1st of the two bands is Claudio and da Gang:
“They are a 5-piece Classic rock band. Claudio and the two lead guitarists have a residency in Alvor, and perform as the Buff Band. On special occasions they perform as a 5 piece band—and the Vale da Telha Music Festival is one such occasion. Music from the bands Free, the Doors, U2, Kings of Leon etc will be on their set list, so prepare to boogie!”
3. The 2nd band, which will be wrapping up the show, is Os Compotas Band.
“This is a 5-piece outfit performing only the funkiest of soul music. They are just back from wowing Lisbon, after a series of shows in the capital and will really get the place jumping. Any Sex Machines in the audience will not be disappointed; as James Brown would say I’ve got ants in my pants and I wanna dance!
Also, DJ Rockindad will be plugging any gaps in our musical menu, and
has promised some new gems in his musical mix.
AND DON’T FORGET! THERE IS NO ENTRANCE FEE—ADMISSION IS ABSOLUTELY FREE!
(Incidentally, one of the guitarists from Claudio and Da Gang has asked Amovate if anyone can provide accommodation or b-and-b for himself and his wife and two children. If anybody can do this could they contact us at info@amovate.com and we will pass on the details)

Here is another important date for your diaries—more detailed information to follow.
On Saturday September 28th Amovate will be staging a Gala Ball in the Marquee at the Hotel Vale Da Telha at the Pines Roundabout.
The Ball will be similar to last year’s extremely well-attended Summer Ball at the same venue, although there will be one or two changes and improvements which we hope will heighten your enjoyment of the occasion.
