About
Vince Tracy worked as a radio presenter with BBC Radio Merseyside in the early 1970s while he was a club DJ around Merseyside. A fire in Birkenhead Market was a major turning point in Vince's life when water damage from that fire closed the Hamilton Club and Vince's job with it. Eventually Vince developed a sales career becoming the Northern Division Field Sales Manager and Sales Trainer with a national blue chip brokerage company in the food business.
Alongside his sales career Vince developed music skills playing guitar and harmonicas to add a new dimension to his performance skills. The riots in Liverpool in the 1980s prompted ideas of a move to Cornwall with a subsequent return to study leading eventually to degrees and academic qualifications as both a Lecturer and Qualified teacher in Cornwall.
During his first degree Vince returned to Broadcasting but this time in Brittany, France. After many years in Cornwall Vince and the family moved to a new life in Spain with a full-time radio job as a presenter with national broadcaster Onda Cero. He also developed his cabaret shows in Benidorm eventually leading to performing his rock n roll act in USA, Australia, France and Spain and beyond.
Vince developed the idea of podcasting around 2008 as the recession in Spain forced Onda Cero
to close their international branch in Altea. His love of music was developed during his years as a club and radio DJ and he was an all-round sportsman with trials at Tranmere Rovers and representing the Liverpool Shipping League underpinning his love of football. He also played in pro/am games with World Cup stars and great names from the world of showbiz. Vince also played first team Rugby Union and was a second Dan Judo instructor and international judoka

Easter Blog
Easter or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus Christ, preceded by Lent which is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.

The English term is derived from the festival of the Anglo-Saxon Spring goddess Ēostre; Easter is also linked to the Jewish Passover by its name, by its origin (according to the synoptic Gospels, both the crucifixion and the resurrection took place during the week of Passover). In most European languages, both the Christian Easter and the Jewish Passover are called by the same name; and in the older English versions of the Bible, as well, the term Easter was used to translate Passover.

Visiting the Vatican
Just look at the size and enormity of St Peter's Basilica at The Vatican. Yes! That's me at the Saturday mass in Rome and we've all seen it on the television yet to be there was mind-blowing. How did they build these wonderful churches? How could they paint on the ceilings and make everything so ornate? Yes! I was gobsmacked and I can't wait to visit again.
