THE EVENT
For those of you that have previously enjoyed the music of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin,
Thin Lizzy, Jimi Hendrix, Free & Bad Company, 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?, Limehouse Lizzy & Free Spirit, 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.
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.
