Duo Zodiac - How We Started !!

Keith & Gary have been working in Spain now for 8 years, entertaining people all over the Costa Blanca and Inland and make lots of new friends along the way.

Gary was born one of a twin in Weymouth Dorset on 7-7-1965 and has been in show business since he was 9 years old, starting off as a dancer, gymnast etc....., and going professional at the age of 16 when he joined a Duo called Carle & Diane Grahame, who then became The Grahames touring all over britain with stars like; Bernie Clifton, Paul Daniels, Faith Brown and many more........
His twin brother Gene was a fabulous dancer working all over the world and on Cruise Ships and also West End Shows like 42nd Street and many others......
Gary left the The Grahames in 1991 and moved to Blackpool to form a duo called 2nd Dimension, who was also successful working all over the UK and being managed by Beverley Artistes in the North East of England and also had the chance to work in Thailand over a period of 6 years.

In the year 2000 Gary left the Duo 2nd Dimension and met Keith.
Keith was a Hotelier running a successful business till his business partner ran it into the ground, and we both decided enough was enough and it's time to move on and they'd had enough of the UK with the depressing weather and high prices.
So on 28th March 2001 they took the plunge and moved to Spain and formed a Duo called 'Zodiac'.
It all started when they ended up with a £1000 between them and bought an old camper van for £200 and ripped out all the inerds, white washed the windows and loaded all their pocessions into it, drove to Spain on a dodgy MOT, but atleast it had insurance and breakdown cover.
Eventually after breaking down a couple of times they made it to Benidorm and stayed with some friends Meg & Eddie for about 2 1/2 weeks doing a lot of footwork walking into the bars handing leaflets outs etc.....,

It was Easter time when they moved to Spain and couldn't find anywhere to live, so they bought the Costa Blanca News and found an apartment for rent in Pedreguer and very cheap !! so they drove 28km up the coast to Pedreguer and loved the place, took on the apartment and the owner Ken Upton told them to look for work in Javea and Moraira, so one day they drove to Moraira and came across a bar called Bentleys Bar, the owners had just taken over the bar 2 weeks previous, they decided to take on Zodiac on a Sunday night, it was so successful that they also gave them a Wednesday night aswell, so form that day Zodiac worked at Bentleys 2 nights a week for 6 1/2 years, until sadly the bar was sold.

But from then on Zodiac have gone from strength to strength working all over the costa blanca been taken on by the Med Playa Group working 4 hotels in the group; Hotel Riudor, Hotel Rio Park and Hotel Regente and Hotel Flamingo Oasis and then having the chance to do shows for the Masonic Groups all over the Costa Blanca including The National Provincial nights which is an honour to work at.
They been honoured to do private parties for Weddings, Anniversaries, birthdays and make alot of new friends and along the way.
It was the best move they ever made !!
