Discover the Painter Sorolla on a boat! October 2023
By chance I met Carmen Calvente who was promoting events in Denia when you can discover more about Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Valencian: Joaquim Sorolla i Bastida, 27 February 1863 – 10 August 1923) who was a Valencian painter who lived between 1863 and 1923. Sorolla excelled in the painting of portraits, landscapes and monumental works of social and historical themes. According to Wikipaedia his most typical works are characterized by a dexterous representation of the people and landscape under the bright sunlight of Spain and sunlit water. I had previously created a podcast with artist Tom Brown
Meeting Author SAFFRON MELLO CASTRO 21st June 2025
Not many people can demonstrate clear links between Cat Stevens, your own father and Mark Knofler but this dynamic author has a song which has been written with all of those people in mind. You can hear this song in our podcast and follow Saffron's journey for yourself by clicking the green podcast link above and all the links to Saffron's work below.
............... I've always loved creative writing and from a young age would spend my time writing short stories. As an adult I continued writing for myself and finally found the courage to send some articles to a local paper, which were subsequently published.

The Wonderful Benefits of Aloe Vera with Graham Ashton 28th November 2022
Wandering through #ElVergel market I met Graham Ashton
@AloeVida.org who was selling the benefits of using #AloeVera. Graham is a teacher and educator and I knew we had to create a podcast and hopefully get good information to our listeners regarding #skin #healingwounds #dentalplaque #ulcers #constipation #stomach #laxative #liver #diabetes #bloodpressure and various other aspects associated with these plants
Meeting Billy Brink ..18th November 2022
There is a really great music venue in Moraira called Saxo and I wanted to visit their special Monday evening Jam session with The Billy Brink Band. This was a different kind of jam session organised by a really talented musician, Billy Brink, and his very talented wife, Janet. Billy and Janet have brought a different dimension to the great jams which we have in Spain and Billy told me about his early life and times in South Africa during the turbulent days of apartheid. I felt I learned a lot from Billy during our time together and I thoroughly recommend a visit to Saxo in Moraira which is a great music venue. Billy's current project is called Shadow on the Waves
Colin Harkness Wine Connoisseur July 2012
Great memory of meeting a Costa Blanca wine legend and the connoisseur who discovered England and Liverpool football legend Michael Owen. We are both Liverpool FC fans and delighted to meet in the studios of OCI in Altea.
Tom Brown is a well-respected artist and former art teacher who lives on the Costa Blanca and came to the OCI radio studios each week to present a series of great profiles of selected painters.
