Rocking the nostalgic jukebox

Nothing says a great party with music from the 40s, 50s and 60s like a jukebox. The jukebox in question though will not be plugged in but in the form of a live quartet and two DJs who have been known to give blasts from the past on many occasions.

The party mood will be brought by the Nostalgia Parties next Saturday at the Powerhouse in Nicosia from 9pm. The night will begin with a top-class Live Jazz Quartet featuring Charis Ioannou (saxophone), Greg Makamian (double bass), Efraimidis Konstantinos (clarinet) and Marios Spyrou (drums).

Next, the floor will be given to DJs Claudio and Marcos from 11pm until 2am, who will fill the night air with some Rock ‘n’ Roll, Soul, Funk, Swing, R&B, Motown, Twist and Surf. So, get ready to party with the likes of Louis Prima, Ray Charles, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Dion, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Jackie Wilson, Glenn Miller, James Brown, The Andrews Sisters, The Beach Boys, Little Richard, Benny Goodman, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Beatles and many more.

The event will also give some great visuals as well as the chance to fill up on some great food by Smokey Dee’s (including a vegan option), cocktails and more. The entrance fee is €7, and a donation of €1 or more can be made to a selected charity that will be announced at a later stage.

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.
