Throw in the odd ship-wreck or two, and readers will agree: This is more than just another great read… its perhaps the greatest hedonistic stories every told. I felt a sadness that long standing relationships were almost a disposable commodity for a promised land that didn't exist.It was a real page turner and I would recommend it to anyone including people that are not fans of Ibiza.

Although ive heard that this book is a bit of "Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story" its still a great read and if youve ever been to Pikes or know the history of the place its well worth a read . This guy lived life to the fullest, and if he was around today would be some kind of Instagram influencer which he personally would of hatted.

Having been a regular visitor to Ibiza and also stayed at Pikes, I knew of him and great to read his story. Ibiza legend who founded legendary celeb hangout Pikes Ibiza and helped turn island into party paradise. Jetsetting is ok if you’ve got lots of money, or a residual income, but if you’ve just got a lump sum, like I usually had when I set off, and nothing else coming in on a regular basis, then the cash runs out fast. Many people will regard his exploits as depraved , but in truth they would also envy his lifetime of experiences. ciò, yu se un bel personaggio, se queo che faceva i drink nel video de club tropicana, un gran simpaticon ma el iera anche un fio de na bona donna, el gaveva sempre voia de ciavar e tutte quee che ghe capitava a tiro le impeniva senza pietà ma ancha i omeni che non pensè.

After shooting Wham’s Club Tropicana video by Pikes’s pool George became one of many globally-recognisable regular faces. I loved the way this man enjoyed his life to the full despite pissing off a lot of people along the way and not caring to much about it. His name dropping of the entertainment crowd he attracted with a large flair of misogynistic sexual encounters was repetitive and drearily drab. He bought and sold an island, owned a marina on the Cote d’Azur and had been pals with far eastern royalty. It is at this point in which he decides that the white island is where he wants to settle down and set about building his very own private paradise, much of it with his own hands and sweat.

Recent releases through the Portobello Novella Series have included chick lits ‘DJ Whore’ and ‘DJ Wags: Housewives of House’, both by Jaqi Loye-Brown. Safe to say he too can say he’s lived quite the life many people do not get to experience by seeing the world like he has. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Calming things down involved larking about with Freddie Mercury through the ups and downs of Mr Fahrenheit’s later life, beefing with the local Ibicenco plod until Julio Iglesias put a word in and bringing the now ubiquitous Sunseeker yachts to the island for the first time.A book was recently released discussing the life and times of one of Ibiza's most prolific figures, a worthy tale not often told. I’ve always been fascinated about Pikes hotel having heard a lot about it during the times I’ve raved it up on the white isle but never thought to visit myself as I imagined it was strictly a place for VIPs, and I am most definitely a person who Tony would consider a ‘pleb’ hahaaa. I thought the guy was interesting, and wanted to hear the stories about Freddie Mercury and other famous rock stars I listened to growing up.
