Marketing People, Places and Potential Throughout Spain
















Steptoes night club on Benidorm’s Calle Lepanto was the venue I visited whilst out and about this week to see Ricky Price perform an Elton John tribute under the alias Rocket Man.
This is a show for all Elton John enthusiasts as Ricky has studied the man to such an extent the looks, mannerisms and voice are very realistic.
The show was very energetic and incorporated a big screen showing DVD footage of the early days of Elton John which all added to a very well rehearsed and polished performance.
Ricky is no stranger to the business and has been performing on stage for over 25 years working at places which have included Butlins, Pontins and Haven to name but a few. He moved over to Spain a little over 11 years ago, spending 5 years in Marbella before heading north to Benidorm. This will be his sixth consecutive season at Steptoes where he is resident seven nights a week for 11 months of the year.
Despite the show being the first on, there was a good crowd who joined in with most of the numbers especially Crocodile Rock where Ricky got them trying to outdo each by dividing the audience into two and playing them off against each other to see who could make the most noise.
