More Ketchup than Salsa: Confessions of a Tenerife Barman

More Ketchup than Salsa: Confessions of a Tenerife Barman

Well that’s nice. An email out of the blue from a production company asking if film rights are still available for my book, More Ketchup than Salsa: Confessions of a Tenerife Barman.

“Yes,” I replied tentatively, my brain scanning the voice for tell-tale tones of a friend on a wind-up.

But no, genuine interest! Blimey.

Two emails and a phone conversation later and I’m looking at flights back from Tenerife to Blighty to meet with said production company and hopefully get the ball rolling. Or at least inflated.

Either way – impending celluloid stardom or just a popped dream – I shall keep you informed over the next few weeks.

    Wow Joe! How fantastic – any news yet? OK, I’ve been promising myself all these years to actually read your book, so better do it now before Hollywood make a cock-up of it, eh?

    Hi Joe, Have read the book and it brought back some happy memories and also some interesting things we missed whilst back at blighty. Love to see it on the screen,it might even do better than “Benidorm” which is now getting slightly jaded!
