Title: our band
Post by: Koukouvaya on September 10, 2014, 11:44:14 AM
Hello all forumers. Thank you admin, for allowing us to join in.

We are The Worried Men of Corfu.
For those of you who don't know us, we are...Griff, Allan, Bob and Gordon.

We play our style of music, in and around Arillas, when we are all here on this wonderful island. (usually May/June and September/ October.

We have met some of you, and we hope to meet many more, so, we thought this was a great place to make ourselves known. We also have a facebook page ( The Worried
 Men of Corfu). We have just got together again, and we are playing at Tria Adelphia tonight, around 9 ish. We hope to see some of you there.

Hopefully we will keep you all informed through this forum, and you come and enjoy our music.   

Thanks for taking the time to read this......see you soon.

Together they create a super sound which , in turn makes a super laid back evening.
Must not be missed so if you see a sign advertising a gig, then make a note in your diary.

I am so sorry to have missed you, we left two days ago. I saw Griff at the wine festival and had a nice cuddle. Seriously folk if you have never seen them, you must seek them out. We have seen them several, times at Armourada and Rainbow and always enjoy their easy listening, laid back songs. See you next year guys xx

 We had a great night (our first since June)  at Tria Adelphia on Wednesday. We had a 'guest' come and join us for 'knocking on heavens door', so, thank you Dave for that.

On Thursday 18th, we'll be at Rainbow, so if anyone on holiday fancies that for a night out, please come along....We're looking forward to that.

Excellent.....I arrive back on the 18th so that's my evening sorted!
Title: Re: our band
Post by: Eggy on September 13, 2014, 03:48:23 PM
I was gonna say " Could you guys keep up with him?"

But..... on reflection.... if you're knocking on "Heavens Door" you don't want to do that too fast...
(In case someone answers it!!)

Maybe Wegg and I will meet up with Sandy , that night?
Maybe Rainbow will have a Mexican food time?

Cheers
Negg

Well I have to say that I've heard OF The Worried Men of Corfu but unfortunately have not heard them .... until now - I've just listened on YouTube and am quite impressed!

I hope to hear them for real sometime soon - I fly out from Manchester on 26th, arriving late at Corfu airport, so hopefully from 27th September up to 10th October I should be able to hear them live.

Sandy, it will be great to see you again, and hopefully Negg too, (and the lovely Wegg too, of course). Janis, we will be organising more gigs, and will definately be playing somewhere during your visit. Glad you like the music.....we sound even better now, (even if we do say so ourselves), as we have some new equipment.   We're looking forward to the next couple of months.....watch this space!

Wish we could be there! Would love to see The Worried Men in the Rainbow with Jimmy's banter and the company. Dave enjoyed Knocking on heaven's Door with the guys. Great to see them again at Tria and their lovely wives. Enjoyed Penny's quiz earlier in the evening too (at Rainbow). See you next year!

21st to 28th my brother in law will be there. He's a bit of a muso. Where will you be and could he jam?  He's a tight ass(Easyjet) so any spare guitar?

Caught the band at Rainbow last night and they were fab. It was a lovely night of good food and music. If you get the chance they are a must see.

Post by: Eggy on September 19, 2014, 11:42:44 AM
Beat me to it , Jeanette, I was going to say exactly the same.

These men should not be worried at all! - The practice I know that they all put in returns a huge satisfaction/enjoyment award for them and great evening for for those who listen.

Thank you to Dimitri and staff for another great night at Rainbow. Also a big thanks to all who came to see us. We always enjoy what we do, and it's nice to know that others do too. Thanks also to Sarah and allan, who joined us for a song......and, Jeanette and Eggy, it's good to read the feedback, and know that you enjoyed it. Eggy was tapping his foot, so, it must have been OK.......

Next gig....Saturday night.....Armourada. I hope you can all make it.....

Vivian, we haven't got everything sorted yet for the dates that you are here. We will, of course keep everyone posted as to whats going on. Thank you for all those pennies, as Mr Tesco always says, 'every little helps'.....for those who don't know what all this is about, well, we play all our gigs free of charge, then if no-one turns up, the property owner is never out of pocket. So, we pass round 'Bobs bucket' and ask the audience, 'if you enjoyed the music, please chuck a euro in the bucket. Last year we used borrowed equipment, i.e. amps, speakers etc, and we are proud to say, enough people enjoyed our shows, so we've purchased a brand new P.A system. So ,thank you all who spared a euro or two, we really do appreciate it.

Elena

Confused here but did the "Worried Men" have a drummer in the first place? . Tell us the name of your band and big apologies if I have missed something ,

Well there's a surprise  The worried Men needing a drummer??? and I thought Vasillis was the beat myster in this band.

Some strange posts
Title: Re: our band
Post by: Val n Bill on March 06, 2015, 09:43:03 PM

Ok you need a new drummer......but you won't get one until you say which band you are will you!!!!
Title: Re: our band
Post by: Koukouvaya on March 06, 2015, 10:12:52 PM
Hi Folks, just to clarify....The Worried Men of Corfu don't need a new drummer. As you may know, when we need drums, our Bob plays.
I don't know who Elena is, and I don't know which band she is talking about, but it's NOT the worried men.
We have 3 of our band here in Corfu at the moment, and we're currently working on some new stuff for this summer.

We will be back! Hopefully we will see many of you throughout the summer.
