Title: Talk of the Town
Post by: kayakebab on October 16, 2011, 05:36:20 AM: I've seen the billboards for this and always thought it would be very tacky and amateur. Was persuaded it was good & that we should go and so glad we did.
Fantastic performers put their all into it for over 2 hours. Great costumes, music & humour.
And piping hot chicken & chips!
Next week is the last weekend and will feature the 'best of' the season.
If you haven't been & have the chance go, do it!
Title: Talk of the Town
Post by: Sleuth on October 16, 2011, 06:01:59 AM: No thanks !! I will pass on that one. I was told , and its believable, that in recent years, so many establishments around Hisaronu pushed and plugged and promoted `The Talk of the Town` as a `must see` show.... and part of the plan was to kill off the interest in the`turkish evening` show over in Kaya village. Sadly it worked... everyone wanted to see `Blackpool like drag acts` instead of the very entertaining `turkish theme night shows` over in Kaya. Talk of the Town won eventually :(... and the premises of the Turkish night in Kaya is now derelict :(
Another backward step for the area.. very little `turkish` left around Hisaronu now :(

Talk of the Town is a great show to go and see and have a great fun night out.

Talk of the town show is an enjoyable and fun night out and I would recommend it.

Post by: Old Daffodil on October 16, 2011, 22:37:44 PM: We went to the Turkish night in Kaya years ago and there were no premises. It was held out of doors and was very good but a completely different type of entertainment to the Talk of the Town. It was never advertised very much. It seems unfair to accuse a drag act of spoiling a Turkish night as they are such different types of entertainment.

Post by: kayakebab on October 17, 2011, 05:26:39 AM: I used to stay in Kaya every year and the Turkish night used to offend many locals because it was so incredibly noisy.
Maybe that's why it closed.

Post by: busybee on October 17, 2011, 05:30:20 AM: We go every year and take either our family or friends. We all love it and its such good value, where can you get transport, a show and food for £20. Thats not to say we dont support traditional turkish entertainment but hey ho variety is the spice of life.
Title: Talk of the Town
Post by: Sleuth on October 17, 2011, 09:29:39 AM: Exactly my point. The `Turkish night` used to be advertised quite extensively around the area until about 2007/20008 . Then the advertising for it suddenly disappeared... and more and more `Talk of the Town` posters started surfacing everywhere . It was a well planned campaign to make the `Talk of the Town` the ONLY show around the area, no others. It worked.
This is Turkey remember where corruption and back handers are rife !!
It was a planned campaign.

Post by: mercury on October 17, 2011, 14:32:03 PM: Thats what you do when you start a business.!!! Advertise it to make money. The other place should have upped their game and done an advertising campaign as well. Just because it isnt your taste doesnt make it a bad place to go. We havent been because we had a business in Blackpool for twenty years and these sort of places are rife. I know that some of the Tour operators take people to The Talk of the coast and part of the reason it is always busy. Then again I wouldnt go to a traditionl Turkish night because I have been there done that and bought the T.Shirt. Each to his own.

Post by: Gilly1 on October 17, 2011, 15:24:12 PM: I agree that Talk of the town is a fantastic night out. The performers are very professional and must work so hard to produce such polished acts. I also enjoy turkish nights but they perform in bars and hotels everywhere so maybe that is another reason that they closed in Kaya, just too many of the same thing. I will be back at talk of the town next year. Keep up the good work boys.

I thought one of them looked a bit shifty. Do you think they could be a bit jealous of Musthafa the belly dancer at the Turkish evening or maybe Musthafa the Elvis imposter or possibly Musthafa the Micheal jackson reincarnation. Strewth.
