Now the concertweekend is over, I realised it was a rockfestival. This video is from the festival in Astrakeri, the name of the band is Stormwind and the name Metallinos sounds very "Roda"-ish....

August is really the time to be in Corfu, that´s when it is all happening!!! This is what I found at the website of Agiotfest: " Rock, Folk and Jazz in Agios Ioannis, Corfu Agiotfest is held each summer in the village of Agios Ioannis in central Corfu - just 15 minutes drive from Corfu Town. This year's entertainment takes place over two days - Friday 27 and Saturday 28 August - and each night's seated audience will be restricted to 1,000 people, to allow for easy access and parking. Friday 27th of August "6.00 pm - Doors Open - Food, Refreshments and Memorabilia Available 6.30 - Warm up bands - featuring Jemma Bartlett and The Good Ole Boys (Look out for Surprises!) 8.15 - Kuriri (Serbian Rock Champions 2009) 9.30 - Omega 5 (Back by popular demand) 11.00 - One Drop Forward Saturday 28th of August 6.00 pm - Doors Open - Food, Refreshments and Memorabilia Available 6.30 - Laura Zakian 7.30 - New Faces including Sonia Grammatikos 8:00 - 4Square 9.30 - Joe Brown and his Band 11.00 - An Element of Surprise " And very important: Transport Buses will be laid on from both the North and the South of the island, as soon as numbers are known the pick-up points will be advertised.

Alex Metallinos wrote to me on FB he wanted to sign in as a member to this forum and inform us about another musicfestival tonight, but I decided not to wait any longer and do it myself.... For those in Roda at the moment, you might think about spending some time in Acharavi tonight ..... and-or tomorrow: 3rd Acharavi Rockwave festival 2010 in Acharavi, 21st and 22nd of August It starts at 20.30 h. at Town hall square Programme for tonight: Loco La3 (La tria) Lacrima Treis kai o koukos
Programme for tomorrownight: Jiva Terifica Blue Pill Overdose Stormwind
Stormwind is Alex'band and he will be performing tonight as well, as he will be playing the guitar with La3. I will share with you a video of a performance of La3 last year , a tribute to the great Theodorakis.
And some of 2010:
And last but not least their performance at CorfuAct 2010

While listening to a few of the La3 videos, I found a "hymn" on northern Corfu, not sure about the text yet.... I will try to find out, just listen carefully and you will hear some familiar names.... (we could make a riddle out of this song, I found 4 so far... ;D ;D )

Thanks for that info petra, but I think at my time of life I will never pick it up now, I just know the basics...and as you say it's very interesting to listen to a conversation without them knowing you understand...........you are doing so well and I hope you "master" the language.

So sad to announce that Despina Vandi is NOT coming Seemed that it was too expensive to come to Kerkyra, the financial risk was too high. Already a lot of other "big greek names" cancelled their tour as well...

Kaz, the song (I think) is about the villages in northern kerkyra... they mention a few in the song, one of them is Acharavi... but I cannot fully understand the song, maybe someone else can translate the song .... btw: congrats on your 900 !!!! posts!!!!

We will be in Roda then and would love to go. Does anyone know if there will be buses running from Roda and how to book?

If enough people want to go, a bus can be hired for any event. I will ask Rena if anyone else knows - or even if she does!!

Just don't expect too much from Jimmy James, saw him put a great show on many moons ago & he was getting on a bit then, nowadays at the grand age of 71 it's probably a case of "he'll go, where his zimmer takes him" ;D pete.

Thanks Steve, I saw earlier on this page that there was a bus last year so fingers crossed. Pete, I wonder if he still has his vagabonds or perhaps they have all found permanent homes!
