Look at those lines!
The deep end is a bit difficult
But we manage
Dave decides to wreck the boat
Friday morning we assemble outside the Neptune

The Rose
is performed for the first time in Cyprus
After a quick look at the Agora we assemble outside near the Fruit Market
Donkey Ote gets some ribbons to wow the public
Good crowds with LinTV recording the venue for their viewers
Some even manage to get off the ground
We settle outside the Hammam (turkish baths) for the first public consumption of KEO
Nice and shady for a quiet moment
Before dancing in one of the most magic venues
not bad for the third venue in two hours
The Musicians have a good gallery to play in
and we get a reasonable crowd
for our dancing
Dynamic is one description
View from inside Hammam
Cool shady spot
Elliot was a bit more energetic
and danced a jig for those who were not prepared to move from the shade
Then by bus to the Rose Pub in Kato Paphos
and the Rose again
and more KEO!
Off along the recently refurbished Harbour
with the Fort in the distance
on our way to the next venue
With the massed band of the Kennet
between the waterside restaurants
we perform again
still able to get off the ground
with a reasonable crowd
and early on the schedule
but the WAGS/SOWS had other things to do
While we laboured in the merciless sun
An Elliot as restless as ever
Gave the rest a rest
the cool of the Fort
as we spent a few moments sight seeing
some decided to ascend to the top
for yet another dance
and another
Pre Lunch KEO!
Lunch at last and another chance for KEO
in the cool of the Kastro restaurnat
Before we entered the Archaeological park
and danced at the ODEON (Roman)
But the crowd was now smaller
But that did not deter the men
Nuts in May
the light house in the background
and now the roman Agora
look at those hankies flying
yet another Jig
with New Knees Max
made me quite weary watching
what a performance
a victim is found
for the sacrifice
later that night music of a different kind
with a Lyra
Dave and Denise dance

Oleastro, Anogyra
(olive oil museum)
under an azure sky
in the blazing sun
but we dance
Omodos
on the podium

in this tourist Mecca
in the hills
But Lunch calls
and Dick even remembers the words
Yiannis and son
Graham in full flow
Chris in fine voice
Clive as usual
and Dave
a dark Cellar
with no room left
we fill the Katoi
