Close to 600 people packed into 3 sold out cinemas on Sunday to watch the Greek Film Festival of Sydney’s closing night film and one and only screening of Rebetiko.
Following the screening, those who booked early enough were lucky enough to experience a live helping of some of the wonderful music from the film, including a tribute to Roza Eskenazi (My Sweet Canary) at the closing night event hosted by Nostos Restaurant.
The 4 piece band which included Kostas Theodosopoulos (bouzouki), George Spanos (bass, baglama), Giannis Polkas (guitar) and Tassoula Kallinou (vocals) entertained over 120 people with songs like Stou Thoma to magazi (At Thoma’s Place) and Kaigomai (I’m Burning) from then hit film Rebetiko and with some of Eskenazi’s greatest hits.
The sell-out event has led to a by popular demand second performance on Friday 4th November 2011 and already bookings are coming in fast. Book now to avoid disappointment direct with Nostos on 02 9550 0144.
