THE EVENT
For
those of you that have previously enjoyed the music of Pink Floyd, Led
Zeppelin, Queen, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Foreigner, Journey &
Santana played live in a stadium or theatre, whether by the great
originals or a top tribute band, this event will truly add another
dimension to the experience.
Lindos and St Pauls Bay
Think Floyd, Letz Zep, Are You Experienced?, The Bohemians, The ZZ Tops,
Livewire, A Foreigners Journey & Viva Santana the foremost U.K. tribute
bands will be playing music from that classic rock era, at a venue like
no other. The beautiful Greek island village of Lindos next to the
Aegean Sea.
They will be joined by The P.L.O.T., one of the best rock covers bands
in the country with a huge repertoire of classics + some of their own
great songs.
The white sugar cube houses clustered at the foot of the ancient
acropolis, the sandy beaches, the tavernas, restaurants & bars &, of
course, the friendly locals make it one of the favourite holiday
destinations for those in the know.
Are You Experienced - Classic
Hendrix from Europe's best.
Since the early 1960's many people return year after year unable to do
without their annual Lindos fix whilst others have succumbed totally &
moved there. In the early years this Aegean paradise was a haven for
foreign artists, writers & musicians whilst in the 70's tourism began to
play it's part & the locals began to convert some of their houses into
pensions, tavernas & bars with sunbeds & umbrellas beginning to appear
on the beaches.

As well as
famous actors, writers & artists, Pink Floyd also made the village
one of their homes in the early 70's & David Gilmour still owns a
villa in the village. David's family still visit regularly &
sometimes the great man himself returns to see his many friends in
Lindos. Other rock stars have been regular visitors over the years
sometimes staying in David's house. However, please be aware that
locals & regular visitors always respect their privacy & if you come
to Lindos & by chance you see a familiar face you will be expected
to do the same. |

Think Floyd in Lindos
Among the bands' friends are bar owners & restauranteurs who can
sometimes be persuaded to re-tell some of the anecdotes of life with
Pink Floyd. Try Dimitris & Michalis Mavrikos' restaurant in the village
square or Socrates' Bar where there is the constant sound of great
classic rock music & photos of Socrates with various rock stars on the
400 year old walls.
