BELUGA

Beluga perform melodic rock but are unable to play anything in the key of C flat. Bennie (Vocals) arrived in Cyprus one stormy night, just off the coast of Mezotos, announcing in a powerful, gutsy voice that she wished to “rock the place”. Her favourite colour is not Yellow. Alex (Guitar) has played the axe since an early age but has never touched a guitar amplifier due to a fear of electrocution. He plays his exciting blues and metal licks through a device called a Pod. Bam Bam (Drums) left his native Wales because it was too noisy. His drum stool is legendary for being made of pure Sri Lankan silk. Paul (Bass) owns the largest collection of picks in Europe. His extreme short sightedness means that he thinks he plays a six-string Stratocaster, and no-one has yet told him different.

The only live band on Cyprus dedicated to the music of Mark Knopfler, Brothers in Arms have captured the fiery guitar sound and atmospheric keyboard nuances of Dire Straits. Their show features selections from the eponymous first album through to the platinum selling “Greatest Hits” replicating authentic vocal harmonies and moody lighting.

Mark Widdler’s clean Stratocaster and hard rocking Les Paul tones contrast with nylon-strung subtlety on slower songs – all with Dire Straits trademark expressive vocals.

Bruce Horny’s classical training is a huge advantage in coping with the musical and tonal range required to handle 3 keyboards and backing vocals. Hard to believe that despite sounding like an orchestra he only has ONE pair of hands.

Hugh J Botham. As an accomplished 6-string gunslinger, the adventurous Dire Straits bass lines hold no terrors for Hugh. Whether wailing like Sting or duetting with Bruce, his vocal harmonies enormously enrich the band’s sound.

Wick Pithers. Brothers In Arms music calls for a vast range of drum and percussion sounds, provided with aplomb and rare skill by this fine musician and son of Cymru.

Whether you’re under Private Investigation, on the run from a Sultan with a Switchblade Knife, canoodling in a Tunnel of Love, Calling Elvis while Twisting By The Pool, revising Romeo and Juliet, or simply Relaxing with a Lady Writer who earns Money For Nothing – this show has something for you

Andrew wears a series of costumes formally owned by Elton himself plus some exact replicas, as he performs. He sings 1990s hits, such at Can You Feel The Love Tonight and 1980s hits like I’m Still Standing. His grand finale is a selection of the classic songs of the 1970s, including Candle In The wind and Crocodile Rock. Each style is not only faithfully reproduced musically but Andrew also wears the costume of the eras in a series of quick changes that really put the audience back into those days.

Andrew fully involves his audience with lots of singing, clapping and fun!  He really impresses with his fine musicianship and showmanship at the piano together with his infectious sense of humour and energetic personality.

LOCKE O’ THE IRISH perform all things Irish!

His powerful vocals and guitar skills encompass a wide range of genres though his love of Irish music stems from his years in show-bands in the North West of England where he also taught in schools and colleges. Ian’s bouzouki and mandolin add yet more Celtic flavours to the music of Locke ‘O The Irish.Music includes Riverdance, Danny Boy, the Fields of Athenry, the Wild Rover and Whisky in the Jar; and also music by The Corrs, The Cranberries, The Pogues, Van Morrison and U2
