London to TRNC with Ali Kose on Pegasus Airlines
Message from Ali Kose……..
Hi Chris, nice to meet you and Margaret and I have just about got over the flight we shared together and would like to tell my worldwide friends about our meeting and journey together:
As you may know I am a singer, songwriter, composer and performer based in the SE of a fantastic city we all know as London in the UK. My parents come from an Island in the Eastern Mediterranean known as Cyprus.
I decided spontaneously on Wednesday evening 31st August to book my last minute flight to Northern Cyprus. My trip started with a very slightly delayed flight which I decided not to worry about as I had more time to spend at the duty free in Stanstead airport.
Anyhow, on the plane there were further delays on route to Istanbul and on to Ercan in Northern Cyprus, and I was sitting next to you, Chris Elliott and Margaret Sheard who run http://cyprusscene.com which made our delayed trip less tedious due to the wde range of things we talked about and ideas we shared.
Chris and Margaret live on the Island in the village of Ozankoy and shared with me some fascinating historical stories about the Island of Cyprus Heritage click here and so here I am giving you guys a taste of my holiday.
So I came to Cyprus to enjoy the sunshine and find inspiration for writing my 4th album. This album is currently based around my Spanish guitar; infusing Latin, Funk and Soul music. You can expect catchy hooks with something for all the family.
Anyhow, I’m getting back to enjoying my holiday/inspiring compositional journey.
EXPECTATIONS FOR LATE 2016:
A 5 track EP to promote my album which will be released worldwide. Plenty of gigs in London and Europe!
Sign up to my social media pages below and lastly I will be updating you with new video blogs every week!
Wish you were here!
