Cavalcade 2020 (Episode 29)

Hello there! Gibraltar Stories is back and what better way to kick off the new series than with an episode about the event which kick starts the Gibraltar social calendar each year – the Cavalcade.

In this episode you can hear from Eric Abudharam, President of the Gibraltar Cavalcade Committee as well as some of the people who
worked round the clock over the Christmas period to get their floats ready in time of the big night on 5th January.

My thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to me for this podcast including Eric Abudharam, Horace Bonfante & Amanda from Mount Alvernia & Meddoc, Syna Smith from the Balloqui Family & Europa FC float and Leno Bridges from the Glacis United FC float.

My special thanks to Neil Warburton from iamunknown.com for designing the Gibraltar Stories Logo and creating the Gibraltar Stories website.

Music on this podcast is by DP Music on www.melodyloops.com mixed with Gibraltar atmospheric sounds.

Gibraltar Stories is produced, edited and presented by Lindsay Weston.
