Today marks the 15th Annual Tenerife Entertainment Awards, a unique event that celebrates the entertainment scene in one of Europe’s favourite holiday resorts. Every year the TEAs have a different theme and this year it is Las Vegas, with a fully produced show, live performances, 12 different categories of awards being presented, and the draw to win a holiday to Vegas itself!
This year’s event, sponsored by BGR Solutions, kicks off at 2pm and you can join in the fun and watch it all live on YouTube (click the link below) and several IPTV platforms, which means you won’t only get to see who the public voted for in nine of the categories, but you will be able to watch the full show and live performances today of the nominees of two of them, and join in the free live vote as well.
After the opening show, host Kirk Readings will introduce the show, and the awards will be presented interspersed with performances by the nominees in the Best Solo Musician and Best Solo Performer categories, and a special performance from a guest act who has flown in from the UK, especially for the awards.
