Title: Hello Calis !
Post by: Andrew sings..... on August 01, 2012, 08:36:52 AM
Hi everyone.  My name is Andrew Tait and me and my partner Glen King have recently moved to Calis Beach from the Didim area of Turkey.  We lived there for just over 4 years and are now looking forward to living in, and enjoying, this area as our new home.  Whilst Didim has a lovely beach/resort area called Altinkum, it doesn't have the variety of resorts or the beauty of the landscape that you enjoy here in the Fethiye area.  I am Scottish, originally from Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, I am a young 52 years old, and I was a Corporate Communications professional in the global Banking industry before retiring just before the big financial crisis started 4 years ago.  Glen and I have been togetehr 20 years now.  He is 44 and is originally from Irthlingborough in Northamptonshire.  We look forward to the joy of meeting new friends here in the Calis area over the coming months and years.  Our work helps us to meet lots of people, as we are professional singers and we are already doing regular gigs in the area - so maybe we might see YOU sometime soon !!  Have a great day.  Andrew

Hi both and welcome, my sister has a place in Didim and my brother has a place in Altinkum, I travelled up the coast to see them earlier this year, and although pleasant enough, I'm sure you will find a totally different environment and ambiance in the Calis/Fethiye area (for the better ! ), but I am totally biased !!  ;)  :)  :)

Welcome both. I think we may have already sort of met or at least said hello in July if you are the friends of Murat, who is staying on the same complex as our apartment Lemon 2. We know Irthlingborough well, I used to work in both Wellingborough & Kettering and we come originally from a small village called Harrold not too far away!
All the very best with your gigs. We heard you in Josephs in July and it was packed with people so am sure you will do well   :)

Yes we are friends of Murats.  I used to work for the same leather group that owned the tannery in Harrold and I have been there many times, but many years ago !!  Thanks for your best wishes. x

Yes, you can get off at the main crossraods just past the Aquacity, and then walk maybe 150 yards down the beach road.

Hi just wanted to say that we loved your night in Joseph's Bar a week past of Friday.  It was a great start to our holidays.  We have recommended you to some of the renters in our complex who were looking for a good night out.  We were sorry that our flight times on Friday meant we couldn't come back.  Hope you will be there again next season

Hi Andrew,

I am the vocalist on 'Living It Up In Calis'  :)

I am aware that Geoff has sent you a backing track to the song. Are you REALLY going to perform it???

**gushes**

Will be out there late April for a duet  ;)

Perhaps it might be good for Andrew to move down to the other pages now and join in the general banter, as a resident I am sure we would benefit from his knowledge?
