Agios Ioannis Music Festival
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.Topping the bill on Saturday will be the legendary Joe Brown and his band. Joe was one of the UK's original rock & roll stars who topped the charts and had The Beatles open shows for him. In a career packed with musical highlights he has also presented several series of the Joe Brown Show on TV, two series for Radio 2, and finds time to do around 100 live shows a year in the UK.
On Friday the headline attraction will be One Drop Forward, considered to be one of the best reggae bands in Greece. At this early stage, support acts already include folk/rock band 4Square, jazz singer Laura Zakian and local band Omega 5 (back due to popular demand following their AgiotFest 09 performance). It is also expected that several local Greek bands will participate. -www.agiotfest.co.uk - Read Whole Article
Corfu Cricket Festival
There aren’t many more romantic, or historic, places to play cricket than the Esplanade in Corfu Town, the only ground in the world, apparently, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The ground has seen better days: part of the outfield has been turned into a car park. But the Hellenic Cricket Federation is working to change that, and from next year it will form part of a major new initiative, the Corfu Cricket Festival.
The Festival was launched on November 10 at another almost unbelievably historic venue, the Long Room at Lord’s. Around a hundred people gathered to hear the Deputy Minister for Culture and Tourism in the new Greek government, Angela Gerekou – who is an MP for Corfu – declare her support for the new enterprise. -ICC Read Whole Articles
