A minute with Savvas Gregoriou Professional musician

Where do you live?
I live in Nicosia with my parents

Best childhood memory?
Being a young boy pretending to be a soldier with my friends and playing with fake guns chasing one another around the neighbourhood

Most frequented restaurant and absolute favourite dish?
Ah, so many choices! Probably T.G.I Fridays – Jack Daniels double burger

What did you have for breakfast?
Cereals as usual.

Would you class yourself as a day or night person? What’s your idea of the perfect night/day out?
Definitely a night person. The perfect night out would be at a bar with some good music and a beer

Best book ever read?
I’m not a big fan of books

Favourite film of all time?
White Chicks because every time I watch it is as funny as the first time

Favourite holiday destination? What’s your dream trip?
New York! It is a whole different world! I was amazed how the city was always ‘awake’ regardless if it was 3 in the morning! Dream trip would be somewhere exotic, somewhere I can take a lot of photos.

What music are you listening to in the car at the moment?
Everybody’s Son by the Cloves. I really like exploring new music styles and pay a lot of attention to both music and lyrics.

What is always in your fridge?
Ice cream! I don’t really eat chocolates or chips but ice cream is my guilty pleasure

Dream house: rural retreat or urban dwelling? Where would it be, what would it be like?
A house right on the beach with crystal clear waters

If you could pick anyone at all (alive or dead) to go out for the evening with, who would it be?
Michael Jackson as he was a big musical inspiration to me

If the world is ending in 24 hours what would you do?
Gather with a lot of musicians and sing until the end

What is your greatest fear?
Not being around the people I love.

Tell me a joke…
Beware, cold joke ahead!
Dentist: “You need a crown.”
Patient: “Finally someone who understands me”

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.
