Our favourite ex-Greek, George Papavgeris, is appearing at Lymm Folk Club (Cheshire, UK) on Thursday May 19th 2011.

We'll be at the Spread Eagle, raring to go at 8.30pm, and you can reserve your tickets by visiting the website. Alternatively, just turn up on the night and pay a little more!!

An excellent evening of entertainment is guaranteed!

I have to say singer-songwriters are not generally for me but George is brilliant. Great songs with great tunes and stories to tell and a lovely manner. See this man!

Wow! Thought he'd still be jet lagged from his antipodean excursion, and unfurling his body after the long nasty flight (if he looks hunched you'll know why).
Great to see George 'strutting his stuff' in NZ - sorry to hear that house concerts are so difficult to get going in the UK. I've really enjoyed the vitality of visiting performers summering/wintering down under. George was no exception!

Tickets reserved, Alan!

Before the crowd arrives we're pre-recording an interview for broadcast on Oldham Community Radio - and possibly recording a couple of songs during the concert...

Watch this space!

As for house concerts, I think the reason why they are so difficult to get going is because we still have the smaller, intimate folk clubs (such as ours)...

Bernard, what do you mean Ex Greek. Just because he lives in England, doesn't make him an Ex Greek. :-)

Hope it goes well. George has always done a wonderful job at Faldingworth Live. Certainly seems to get the women crying with his songs. Come to think of it, he does the same to the blokes.

Give it up for George P the Greek, who soemhow has become EX.

Arthur itus - ex-Greek in the sense that he doesn't just live in England, but successfully applied for British nationality last year! The ceremony was in August.

...I'm off to sing for Bernard,
the wonderful Bernard of Lymm.
There are many Bernards in the world,
But no one a bit like him.
He has a fine 12 string guitar
And on the accordion he's a star
And always friendly, never aloof or prim.
He won't let you down, oh no, not him!
I'm off to sing for Bernard,
The wonderful Bernard of Lymm!

M1-M6, here I come!

Very good George, but I find the line "the wonderful Bernard of Lymm" takes thing a little too far.
But I whole heartedly agree with "But no one a bit like him"

See you, and Bernard tonight.

Alan

Hah! Only just seen that!!

We had a slightly disappointing turn-out, but those who were there were enthralled by George's songwriting and delivery... we'll be asking him back!
