Stephen Lloyd-Morgan with The Marbella Concert Orchestra
The Summer Event Concerts - El Castillo de la Duquesa

For a chance to win tickets supplied by event sponsor Ibex Insurance please go to www.ibexinsure.com/summerconcert-competition - closing date 30th June.

Following the phenomenal success of The Summer Event Concert last year; reviewed as “World Class entertainment delivered direct to our door step”; this Summer there will be two concerts inside the magnificent and intimate setting of El Castillo de la Duquesa on Saturday 24th July & Saturday 21st August, sponsored and supported by Ibex Insurance, Essential Marbella Magazine, Talk Radio Europe, Sur In English & Fischer Car Group among others, and in collaboration with the Ayuntamiento de Manilva.

The concerts will star popular tenor Stephen Lloyd-Morgan with the new and specially formed 16-piece Marbella Concert Orchestra, conducted by renowned Musical Director Ian Green, with a selection of songs from Musical Theatre, Opera and Cross-Over, sung in English, Italian and Spanish.



Special guest artists also bringing an eclectic and contemporary repertoire to the event include Yazz, International Recording Artist; Julie-Anne Hunter, Mezzo Soprano ENO & Royal Festival Hall; María Lourdes Benítez, Soprano El Coro de Ópera de Málaga and Spain´s WOW Factor Winner and Runner-up, Christian Fa & Rebecca Tate, and The Unity Gospel Singers.

Event organiser Nick Holland said, “We are very excited about bringing the Marbella Concert Orchestra to accompany Steve at this year´s concerts in Duquesa. We are also delighted that Yazz, who very rarely performs in Spain, has agreed to join the special guest line-up. The costs incurred by bringing a live orchestra, as well as a more spectacular sound and lighting show, (Nigel Davis – Soto Events) has resulted in an increase in ticket price this year. But we are certain the sweeping improvements we have made since last year to both the content and staging of the concerts will be appreciated by the audiences and we hope this will lead to another very unique and successful event!”

Tickets, €40, will go on sale from 9th June, from Beccy´s, Monte Duquesa; Christina´s Cards, Sabinillas; Glitterati Books, Centro Diana Benavista & Anglo Wines, Sotogrande or call 697 783 942. Ticket numbers are strictly limited at this venue and last year was sold out several weeks before the concert! All tickets must be prepaid, although available for collection on the door.

Doors & Bar Open from 8.00pm - 1.00am
Steve´s first performance with The Marbella Concert Orchestra will be at the prestigious 10th Anniversary Max Clifford Celebrity Butterfly Ball Gala in aid of The Rhys Daniels Trust at the Hotel Puente Romano on 5th June. Later this summer he will record a new album with the Orchestra as well as performing with them in Madrid and Barcelona.

También estamos encantados de que Yazz, que muy rara vez se realiza en España, se ha comprometido a unirse a la invitada especial line-up. Los gastos efectuados por traer una orquesta en vivo, así como un sonido más espectacular y show de iluminación, se ha traducido en un aumento de precio del billete de este año.

Manifesto Design news


Find out what we’re up to at Manifesto Design

The global economy is still finding its way to recovery but our focus is firmly fixed ahead. We’re happy to say that the start to 2010 has been very decent and the prospects ahead look even better.

A combination of exciting new projects and treasured longer standing clients keep us busy with a welcome variety of work that includes creative design and branding, editorial work, creating and providing content for websites, SEO-driven blog texts and of course making magazines from scratch. To this list we are now adding a professional translation service that includes just about every language known to man. Would have to get back to you on Amharic though.



Villae International’s Spring 2010 edition is out!
The fifth edition of the Villae International Magazine is out now. This luxury publication, produced by the European Real Estate Network (EREN), features the finer things in life and takes a look at travel, art, culture, interesting personalities and luxury lifestyle in the stylish and understated way that is typical of this most exclusive of European property collectives.

The magazine is the brainchild of leading EREN members José Ribes Bas of Inmobiliaria Rimontgó in Valencia and Diana Morales of DM Properties in Marbella, though by its very nature EREN is an international organisation with members in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Portugal, Greece and affiliated members in France, the US and other parts of the globe.

In a collaboration that goes back several years now, Manifesto Design works closely with the production team headed by EREN president José Ribes to produce the editorial content and photographical material for the publication, which finds its way into some of the most distinguished locations in Europe.
Languages We Love!
Do you remember the Babel fish that featured in Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? All you had to do was drop one in your ear and proficiency in all the languages of the universe would be yours.

Isn’t that a great thought? Unfortunately we can’t boast anything quite as amazing as the Babel fish, but we can now offer our clients a top quality translation service. Having recently joined forces with a long-established international translation agency, with offices in Manchester, and Ronda, we are confident we can fulfil all your translation needs, from any language into any other, through our professional contacts worldwide.

We guarantee a fast response to enquiries and a rapid turn-around of work. All our translations are done by native speakers and checked by a third party to ensure top quality and accuracy. We’ve all seen some hilarious translation howlers and mangled syntax, but such errors are unacceptable for professionals who wish to impress their clients.

Quantum Spain
During the past few weeks we’ve designed and written the content for the new Quantum Mortgages website. When a company needs to create an online profile from scratch, you would be surprised at how much work needs to be done to provide visitors with all the necessary information.

In the case of Quantum we were given the task of not only designing an attractive and functional website supported by effective SEO, but also explaining the way in which property finance works. This included creating a mortgage calculator from scratch and linking the site to the latest Euribor rates. The site also includes a blog for client information and participation, and the entire project is fully SEO optimised.  

Of course, any website worth its Google position is only as good as its maintenance programme so, as with all of our web-based projects, Quantum Mortgages’ website will require regular monitoring and updating.
British Chamber of Commerce
During the past few months we have been socialising more than ever. Earlier this year we launched our Facebook and Twitter presences but, not content with virtual networking, we have also joined the British Chamber of Commerce in Spain. Along with companies such as Lloyd’s TSB, Hackett, BT, Sotheby’s and Ernst & Young, Manifesto Design will be able to enjoy the benefits of belonging to one of the world’s ultimate business promoters.   

Revamped text for David Toms’ website
Cool photographer David Toms asked us to update his website text and that is exactly what we did. A man of few words but images that speak volumes, David left it to us to illustrate his amazing portfolio and convey the passion he has for photography.
