Cool photos,I would have been frozen as I have never performed in front of a crowd like this.
That 2nd pic is awesome - looks like a great venue!
The second pic was Matala beach festival 2012 the crowd was around 40 k in total , It was fantastic to do this .
Great pics! Any chance of a Chordie get together in Sunny Crete?! Pleeeease!!
Yes, I AM shameless...
If enough chordians were intrested I'm sure my friend janni who has the Lassion golden bay resort near Sitia would put a deal together for every one . We gig by the pool in summer its a great venue .
Nice one! That's somewhere the Brit Chordians might be able to get to! Anyone else up for it??
If we have enough serious enquiry's in the next couple of weeks I'll email him before I go back and see what sort of deal he can offer.
I am up for it but my money is limited,I can't even get too the one here in the U.S.
I've sent him a brief message .Janni is very pro active re tourism so I'm sure he will take this idea very serious and asses the viability of promoting an event like this .Sitia Council are always looking for ways to promote the town and something like this would probably lead to a lot of publicity if handled right.
Great images of Crete! After this long cold winter, I'd love to be there.
Last stage performance I did was back in High School (1974) a solo tribute to Jimi Hendrix, as part of Winter Carnival "Talent Show" night. I just did "Purple Haze", "The Star Spangled Banner", and a Hendrix-style adaptation of "O Canada". I got in major trouble with the school admin ... and haven't been on stage since. I believe the only cameras in existence back then were Kodak Brownies (LOL).
I haven't done a paid gig since I was 17, and then I was 'invisible' in the orchestra pit (which was really a loft, but that's a story for another time). I did perform with a praise band for 4 years, but my wife took nary a picture so there ' s nothing to prove it.
Hmmmm... Paid gig. I sang at a wedding once with a piano accompaniment and got paid $20 for it. I was a teenager, so that seemed like a good deal at the time. Lol! I busked at the local beach once and made like a dollar and change. I don't own any pictures from the wedding but there may be a video somewhere in my mother's possession, non digital of course. I need to transfer those someday!
As this topic has taken a spin in two directions 1 its original idea of showing pics of chordians in action playing live gigs and Norms sub topic of the idea of chordi stock type seminar in Crete could I ask a moderator to split this topic As I have some info to share from my friend Janni at Lassion Bay hotel .He has just been in touch and said he thinks it could be a very good idea and asked if I can com and discuss the idea when I get back to Crete .
Personally I think the way forward may be to try and put together a package holiday to keep the cost as low as possible Janni has the contacts to make this a reality and if successful perhaps an annual event .
Sitia has a fantastic selection of top class musicians and music teachers who would also be interested in giving seminars or workshops during what ever period the event was scheduled for .August is when Sitia orginises its festival the Konaria which encompasses all types of music and art ,The surrounding villages also have there own festivals which go on into the early hours .
If Chordians are intrested then we can make this somthing truly international .
I'd love to honor your request, but have no idea how to split a thread.
There's not really a way to split a topic. Just start a new one for your gathering, and we'll keep this one on track with gig photos... or lack of them. LOL.
Does my buddy's sailboat count as a gig if he asks me to bring my guitar when I come aboard?
any performance in public is good paid or unpaid pro or open mic what ever you want .
Zurf /Amy I thought there would be a split post facility in mod controls ,a forum I used to mod had this facility ,don't worry I'll raise a new post when I have some more info from Janni.
Sorry to disappear like that, but couldn't get on Chordie in the last week. I will start another thread about the possibility of a Cretan (?) Chordie Gathering! Many thanks, Grah, for the encouragement!
Cheers!
Ok Norm as I said I have a meeting set up to see if its possible to put some sort of package together if we can drum up enough participants then we should have a little event on the horizon .
looks like there there lots of Brits interested maybe some of you could do a chordiestock in England so more people could come. Just a thought.
Well, it has been mentioned before, Dino, but never really got off the ground. I think I'd rather meet up on a beach in Crete!
