Show notes

Mark Sebastian was born in Cheshire, UK.

Holidays in Majorca led to getting a job there and explored playing records in clubs.

A company called "Music Service" sent Mark out to ski-resorts, like Wengen.

He started at St Thomas Hospital Radio in London and then moved into the pirate radio scene in London: Kiss100 and JazzFM... Mark's training ground.

The KissFM Franchise and moving to the Algarve in 1997.

Interviewing DJ Christian F. about his song "Secret" which is all about the Algarve.

Mark Sebastian DJ's at a lot of weddings during the summers: best wedding location is Ferragudo. Also another great one is Praia Senhora da Rocha

Quarteira is a great suggestion to spend some time: reasonably priced and up and coming.

Portuguese wine and the Bacchus Festival also known as the Portugal Wine Fair.

We chat about the local Jazz scene in the Algarve: Cafe Ingles in Silves, Jazz in the São Bras museum every month, Jazz in Faro and Jazz Festival in Loulé.

Changes to the Algarve in the last 20 years: Roundabouts, shopping centres and tolls on the A22 highway.

What NOT to miss in the Algarve: the Ria Formosa islands, Faro with it's funky streets and bars, Quarteira up and coming, Lagos, Monchique ... "there are not many horrible places in the Algarve".
