Chuck Berry plays Tenerife 2008On Friday 28th March, Chuck Berry played the Palacio Municipal de Deportes in Santa Cruz to a full house which included our Art & Production Director, Jurgen Koch.
Jurgen declared that, despite a few “dodgy guitar moments” it was a good concert and well worth going along, especially to hear the original guitar anthem “Johnny B Goode” live.
Playing for almost an hour and at one point inviting a dozen girls on stage to dance with him, the octogenarian rock n’ roll legend proved that his Ding-a-ling is still in working order, although mercifully it wasn’t on the play list.

It’s true what they say about old rock stars, they never die. They just end up playing Tenerife. I expect to hear of a forthcoming Stones date any day now.
