Mama Mia – The Pretenders in Tenerife

Leather trousers, that’s the first thing that springs to my mind when thinking of The Pretenders. It’s great to see they are coming to the Santa Cruz Auditorium in Tenerife in Monday 6 July, one of many highlights of the Auditoriums programme for the rest of 2009.

What a fantastic rock band The Pretenders are, and as for lead singer Chrissie Hynde, what can I say except mmmmmmmmmmm. It didn’t help when I read that she never used to wear anything under those famous trousers - but maybe she had Bras In Pocket. Anyway back to the plot, I still think of them as being around only a few years ago, but I was shocked to find that their last big hit “I’ll Stand By You” was in 1994. I also noticed that they were formed in Hereford, they probably don’t shout about that, not very rock n roll is it.

Also on the Auditorium line up are Russian ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov on June 29 and ABBA stage musical Mama Mia will be in town from December 28 to January 4. I’m going for a cold shower and trying not to think about those animal skin lower garments.
