CHRIS KING - co founder FESTIVAL OF LEGENDS
Chris has many years’ experience in the
entertainment industry, starting out at the age of 15
in his own rock band in his native Wales.
In 1990 he moved to Southern Spain in 1990, where
he quickly became involved in the very lively music
scene that was thriving there.
The Costa del Sol’s very first ever mobile karaoke
company - ”The All Stars Karaoke” - soon became a
big hit, and is still running to this very day under the
control of best friend Steve Fozz!
Chris started his own music agency “Chris King
Promotions” in 1996, bringing over some of the very
best tribute acts on the UK circuit, with many from
Granada TV’s top show of the time -
“Stars In Their Eyes”.
He quickly established himself as one of the best-
known tribute act agents of the
era, and was probably the first agent to ever bring
tribute acts to Spain from the UK.
The business progressed into bringing over tribute
bands, original recording artistes, soap stars, and
many famous ‘household name’ comedians.
These included Frank Carson, Jimmy Cricket,
The Grumbleweeds, Stan Boardman, The Krankies,
Paul Melba, The Brother Lees, Billy Pearce,
Jimmy Jones, and more.
During this period, Chris was the main agent for the
most famous cabaret bar ever on the Costa del Sol -
THE ELEFANTE , as well as supplying these acts to
venues in Benidorm and Tenerife for many years.
In 2015, Chris met up purely by accident with
Alberto Cohen, and although as different in their
backgrounds and ways as chalk and cheese, they
very quickly struck up a great rapport and the rest
as they say, is history - The Festival Of Legends
was born!
Chris and Alberto staged many great concerts
along the Costa del Sol, including some classics in
the famous Summer venue, the Mijas Auditorium.
In July 2017 they had the honour of being asked
to provide artistes for the famous Starlite
Marbella festival, bringing over the highly
acclaimed Bootleg Beatles from the UK , and
backing them with the awesome 35 piece Malaga
Symphony Orchestra, to recreate the Sgt Pepper’s
album live on stage, to a sell out crowd!
The latest step in their business together, in
Autumn 2015, was to start making Themed Music
Cruises, with Spain’s leading cruise company -
Pullmantur, which has very quickly went from
strength to strength .
