The event was a collaboration between The Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza, Food for Ibiza and The Abel Matutes Fundación Ibiza. Entrance was free on the night if you took 2 kg of non- perishable food with you.

Bananarama put on a great show for over 30 minutes, treating us to many of their big hits from the 80s plus a rendition of ‘I Will Survive’, all of which went down a storm and had everyone singing along.

Illegal Coastline Stairway Demolition in Roca Llisa Sunday 23º The City of Santa Eulària has ordered the demolition of stairs that a developer had built illegally to go from a house in Roca Llisa to the shore of the sea. The steps were built so that the owners could avoid the need to walk over the rocks. Furthermore, the Town Council has imposed a fine of 17,300€ to the responsible party.

Amnesia has a history of problems caused by opening and closing parties over running their allowed hours. Some have said the level of penalty they may incur for breaching regulations is inconsequential compared to the additional income they can derive by staying open. This latest move by the authorities to clamp down fol- lows problems at last weekend’s Music On closing party which was due to close at 6am but overran until 9am. The police say they gave repeated warnings to Amnesia and in light of them not having been adhered to, they have revoked this coming weekends closing party late license, which would have allowed them to remain open until midday on Sunday, the same time as Space in Playa den Bossa last weekend.

Editorial Comment On the one hand I get that noise can be very aggravat- ing to people. On the other hand this is another exam- ple of Ibiza needing to decide whether or not it wants the tourist income derived from party people. A factor that will have increased the annoyance to people who prefer to keep things quiet, is that the closing parties are now far more spread out. There used to be a 'closing weekend'. Now it is more a clos- ing fortnight, with competing clubs trying to avoid competing with each other for closing party business. Perhaps a compromise solution could be to nominate a single opening and closing weekend. Clubs wanting the extended licence would have to hold their parties on those dates, thereby minimising the annoyance to residents. As a consequence it would also make the opening and closing weekends 'special' in the way they originally were. By setting the opening weekend relatively early, and closing relatively late, the town halls could also make an effort to stop the shortening of the season. Just a thought.

The closing, though, was wilder and more euphoric than most parties I've been to in Ibiza, and everyone I spoke to said the same. It was a fitting send off for a club that has meant so much to so many over the years, one that's shaped the careers of countless artists and promoters. During those final moments in the Discoteca, as thousands danced in a tornado of lasers and CO2 spray, something Cox had said earlier suddenly shot into focus. "Ibiza will never be the same again, you know it." Read Carlos Hawthorn’s excellent review here https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/19964

Alongside such recognition in the music industry and Ibiza networks, the closing was of sufficiently import significance to have made the BBC news that covered the closings in some depth.

The Locals …

Social media in Ibiza now seems to have handed itself over entirely to Space closing. “Is this facebook or spacebook”, commented Hotel Es Vive owner Jason Bull. There are so many positive reports, but perhaps the most remarkable testament to the event is that we cannot recall having seen one negative account. These words from Anthony McDowell, proprietor of the Candy Apple Bar in San Antonio, are representa- tive of the views held by many.

This final week it’s the turn of Paris. As I wrote this article, my initial plan was to bring you news of Stella McCartney’s new range at Paris Fashion Week, but it was eclipsed by Kim Kardashian’s horror at being held up at gunpoint in her hotel room. The downside of having a constant social media presence is that everyone knows exactly where you are, and what your jewellery looks like. A mood lifter was not far off though. Stella McCartney’s show was an up-beat, energetic offering which ticked all the designer's boxes in fresh and exciting style. Sporty elements were everywhere – drawstring waist details on wide cut trou- sers, hooded blouses, long sleeved tracky tops in ‘ultra-suede’ (i.e.: not real), easy T-shirt shaped dresses, bold printed leggings were worn under dresses, and even beneath a sheer white boiler suit. There were also plenty of pinstripe shirts, as well as gorgeous oversized earthy- toned trench coats. McCartney featured a slogan print emblazoned with ‘Thanks Girls’, maybe a nod to her successful dressing of this summer’s Olympic team. Other slogans included ‘no fur and no leather’ signifying the house’s commitment to being cruelty free. Back to that ultra-suede – which looks exactly like the real thing. After the show, when questioned if it was indeed faux, an enlivened McCartney moaned: “the fact you have to ask goes to show why the f*** do we use real suede? Why are we killing so many animals when you can’t even tell the difference? And you can wash it in the machine, it’s very practical.” The show had a carnival atmosphere and the models came out dancing. Even An- na Wintour was grinning throughout. Never thought we’d see that day.

Wrong way, Rosburg at T1, and on back page, Hamilton on his Sport way back to the pits. "Someone needs to give me some answers because this is not acceptable. We are fighting for the championship and only my engines are failing. It does not sit right with me." Hamilton was cruising to victory on an unexpected one-stop strategy when his engine literally went up in smoke. He had converted pole into a lead at the first corner, and the day seemed to be going his way when Rosberg was hit by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel as a move to try to pass Verstappen down the inside went wrong. Rosberg re-joined at the back and set about climbing back through the field as Hamilton appeared to be set fair to re- claim the championship lead. An early virtual safety car when Romain Grosjean's Haas suffered apparent brake failure tempted Red Bull to bring Verstappen in early for fresh 'soft' tyres. That made him de facto leader for a while, a position he as- sumed on track when Hamilton made his first pit stop on lap 20. But he stopped again seven laps later and, from then on, Hamilton appeared in total control, only for his car to suffer an internal combustion engine failure. Team boss Toto Wolff held his head in his hands in the pits as Hamilton walked disconsolately away from his smouldering car. Mercedes said there had been no warning of the prob- lem.

Hamilton Blow Lewis Hamilton, pictured riding entirely the wrong type of vehicle back to the pits, was not happy after his shock en- gine failure in the Malaysian Grand Prix. Talking to the BBC after the race he said “my question is to Mercedes, we have so many engines made, but mine are the only ones failing this year…, this does not sit well with me”. This leaves Hamilton with 265 points behind Rosberg on 288 with 5 races remaining. Full report on page 15.
