After many months work, Holiday in Gran Canaria IV is
now finished!
With the imminent release of Holiday in
Gran Canaria III I decided to revisit the first two films,
the quality of the video on "Holiday in Gran Canaria" - the original film - was
not brilliant due to the compression techniques used to encode the film for DVD
- however with more experience and better software I have revisited the original
masters and have produced a brand new version of this movie - so that it may be
enjoyed in the quality it was originally produced in.
Thanks to youtube.com you can now watch the video
trailer here!
Join Gareth W Hughes
and Mike Thake as they experience the little known phenomenon that is
Maspalomas Gay Pride. Travelling with Sensations Holidays and staying at
Club Tucanes gay holiday complex, expectations of the holiday were very
high.
Exclusively filmed by GBC Television, follow our dynamic duo as they fly
out on Monday 12th May and prepare for a week of sun, alcohol, drunken
nights out, dancing on stage, the gay boat trip and the highlight of the
week... The pride march & evening stage show.
Watch and enjoy as Gareth & Mike meet new friends Terry & Arthur, and as
Gareth meets up again with Paul, Errol, Billy & Marielen - friends from
the previous year's pride event.
Originally conceptualised as a modern day vacation memory, Gareth & Mike's
Holiday in Gran Canaria has now been turned into a fast moving, humorous
and downright outrageous fly-on-the-wall documentary for all to enjoy.
Starring Gareth W Hughes & Mike Thake
With Paul Cresser
