Agiot Music Festival, Agios Ioannis, Corfu, 12 Sept.

Glad I made it to this well-organised festival; there was some great music.

Highlights for me were guitarist Paul Stenton, from local band Omega 5 (and Steve Dell, the lead vocalist, could really rock the blues) and The Dylan Project, with Steve Gibbons sounding uncannily like Bob at times; many of the arrangements were original and innovative (they featured some less well-known, older songs with a new cutting-edge), and their interpretations did full justice to the lyrics .

All wonderful musicians (line-up is on www.agiotfest.co.uk/lineup.html). There was also an impressive debut by young Jemma Bartlett, singing with The Good Old Boys.

Luckily the rain kept off. Congratulations and thank you to the organisers, technicians and musicians.

  1. We were so pleased that our stay in Corfu lasted until the 13th Sept. this allowed us to attend this fantastic well organised concert. The highlights for us, was the fact that our Corfu could attract such great artists. It can only get bigger.

    We mover permanently to Corfu early 2010, when will be a regulars at this concert.

    Well done to the organisers

    Ήμαστε τόσο ευτυχείς που η παραμονή μας στην Κέρκυρα διάρκεσε μέχρι τα 13 Ο Σεπτέμβριος. αυτό επέτρεψε σε μας για να παρευρεθεί σε αυτήν την φανταστική καλά οργανωμένη συναυλία. Τα κυριώτερα σημεία για μας, ήταν το γεγονός ότι η Κέρκυρά μας θα μπορούσε να προσελκύσει τέτοιους μεγάλους καλλιτέχνες. Μπορεί μόνο να πάρει μεγαλύτερο.
    Εμείς μετακινούμενος μόνιμα στην Κέρκυρα στις αρχές του 2010, πότε θα είναι regulars σε αυτήν την συναυλία.
    Καλοψημένος στους διοργανωτές
