On Tuesday 8th October, the President of Tulips (Help Those with Cancer Association), Raziye Kocaismail, visited the Soulist Coffee and Music House in Alsancak, where she was presented with the amount of 12,504TL.
This amount was raised at the 3-day music festival “Friends Across Borders” (FAB) held at the Soulist on 27th to 29th September, where there was music from many bands from both north and south Cyprus and other countries, and also included jazz, young stage and classical music.

The event, which was the second annual festival of its kind, was well attended on all three days and was a great musical success for the organisers, Alper Cengiz and Roland Eyerich, and also as a fundraising event for Tulips.
