Straight from the UK

English singer, actress and presenter Jane McDonald will hold concerts in Limassol and Paphos this week.

McDonald is one of Great Britain’s most well-known and highly-respected performers, having won over the nation’s heart with the reality show The Cruise back in 1998 and is a long-standing member of the daytime TV show Loose Women. The Yorkshire lass – born and bred in Wakefield – has not only used her singing voice to make it big, but also her Yorkshire accent, which got her a slot on the ITV programme Star Treatment in 2013.

Her powerful voice has led her to travel all over the world, performing hits to fans, but the performance that stands out is one that she made at home at the London Palladium in 2010. This One Night Only performance is available on DVD, so if you just can’t stop singing the tunes after a night with McDonald, you can always get the DVD and play it to your heart’s content.

The singer will be joined by comedian Steve Walls, who is back by popular demand after his great performance supporting Sam Bailey at Pissouri last year.

Walls isn’t just a comedian, he is also an actor, presenter and vocalist, and is praised as an artist who can do everything equally well.

So pick between Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and get ready to sing along and have a good old belly laugh.

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.
