Just days before the Christmas holidays begin, local musicians host special festive events to spread the holiday spirit. Trimiklini village in the Limassol district is up next with a total Christmas recital with the George Kalopedis Quartet. Mark your calendars for Thursday evening and head to John’s Restaurant for an 8pm show.

With the titl A Soulful Christmas, George Kalopedis will present a very merry Christmas performance playing seasonal favourites, old-time classics and heart-warming winter jazz tunes. The singer has been performing for over 25 years across Cyprus and is one of the most popular and finest soul, jazz, swing, motown, funk & blues singers on the island.

On Thursday, he will not be taking the floor alone as he will join forces with talented Cypriot musicians Emmanuel Vourakis (vocals & guitars), Marios Michael (bass) and Omiros Miltiadous (drums). Their electrified performances always leave audiences yearning for more with a setlist infused by songs from legends including Albert King, BB King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, Freddie King, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, John Mayall, Nina Simone, Etta James, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley and many more.
