Frikes Panighiri |
Saturday 30th June 2007 |

|
People started to arrive around 8.45pm while the band was still setting up and sound-checking. As is with every Panighiri in Frikes, there's just one menu which consists of grilled or roasted pork or chicken, chips and salad, and that's what the villagers came for tonight. |

The staff were on stand-by for possible mayhem |

First time visitors to Ithaca enjoy the colour and strange musical sounds coming from the band. They itch to dance, but before they commit themselves, study the moves and steps from a safe distance, all the while smiling at this new experience, called the Panighiri |

They came from Ireland, Italy, South Africa, the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Wales, France, even Asia, but where were the Vathinians? |
