A charity festival in aid of the Paphos Kidney Association with all proceeds going to the charity (Charity No.4578). For the last 17 years, the Association has been supplying urgently needed medical equipment to the Renal Unit at Paphos General Hospital. The Association is currently raising €30,000 to supply a specialised dialysis machine for patients with low blood pressure, of which there is currently only the one in Nicosia. Anybody on dialysis requires treatment of between 4-5 hours, three times a week, as, without this treatment, their life expectancy will be about 5 days. The festival is organized by Andrew Oliver with artistic direction from Natalia Lezedova.
Directions: Head into town from the Debenhams roundabout and turn right just before the Makarios statue, over the crossroads then right again just past the big white court building, and the venue will be found 200M on the right with parking on the left.

Tete a Tete is a group of six singers from the UK who love singing and have experience of being choir members in Cyprus and in the UK. At first they thought they would sit round a table and sing in private but they have been persuaded to make one or two public appearances. Teta a Tete sing anything, unless it‘s too difficult!
Sine Nomine was established in 2015 from a group of experienced singers wanting to form a small a capella choir. Their aim was to enjoy singing, whilst working to improve technique, tuning and blend. Under the directorship of Jane Roberts they explored a wide and varied repertoire of music eventually culminating in a concert at the Palia Electriki in June 2016. Anthony Stidolph became their Musical Director in September 2016 following Jane’s departure from the island. An experienced pianist and singer, he has continued
to work with the choir further to improve their performance. They recently appeared at the Choir Festival in the Stage One Theatre, Emba.
