Dear Colleagues,

 

[Apologies if you have already received this through other channels]

 

The time has come to book your flights!

 

Good news. This morning (after much delay), the Mayor of Hydra has confirmed 

that we shall have the use of the island's Melina Mercouri conference hall.

 

Therefore we are now finalising preparations for the 13th Annual Hydra

Rebetiko Gathering.

 

Our dates are Friday 4 to Sunday 6 October 2013, with the usual additional 

events on Thursday 3 October (jam session) and Monday 7 October (in Athens).

 

This is our Facebook 'fan page':

The band's websites can be found at

We invite all musicians, singers, dancers, friends and fans of Rebetiko to

join us in Hydra for this year's event.

 

The SOAS Rebetiko Band will provide the core music at the Gathering. 

We are also bringing other musicians from Greece and Turkey to join us.

 

There is no charge or registration fee for attending Gathering. However we 

might need to request a small payment for concerts and workshops, to cover 

musicians' travelling expenses.

 

If you plan to come, SEND ME AN E-MAIL, and I shall send you further details 

of the programme. Write to



ed.emery at thefreeuniversity.net

 

If you have any questions about the Gathering, do feel free to ask.

 

With rebetological greetings,

 

Ed Emery
