The Sunday beat

The Christmas Mystery 2014 event is still going on strong in Limassol and if you haven’t managed to visit the spectacular Christmas market yet then tomorrow may be your chance as Cypriot singer Michalis Hatzigiannis will be giving a concert at 8pm.

The singer will be helping extend the magic of Christmas for just a little bit longer with a lively and very rhythmic performance.

Hatzigiannis, from Nicosia, left Cyprus to seek success in Greece after representing Cyprus in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988. Since then he has become one of the most successful artists of the decade.

Apart from releasing a number of personal albums for which he composed the music, he has also written music for other very famous Greek artists including Eleftheria Arvanitaki and Eleni Peta.

Hatzigiannis is not only making waves in Greece and Cyprus, he is also making a name for himself throughout Europe with his English singles entitled More Than Beautiful and Everyone Dance.

There is only a week left of Christmas Mystery 2014, so get the festive cheer, jumping concerts and ice skating opportunities while they are still hot.

Concerts, Christmas markets, activities for kids and ice skating. Until January 11. Ayios Athanasios Industrial Area, Agios Athanasios, Limassol. Different times. €5/2 for concerts. Tel: 99-009578

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
