The biggest event in our community’s calendar, the Cypriot Wine Festival & Business Expo, is this weekend! Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June 2019, there’s only one place to be, the Lee Valley Athletics Centre which will once again host this spectacular two-day event.
This year’s headline act is the spectacular Peggy Zina!
One of the top female pop artists of the past two decades, the popular songstress will be gracing the stage at the 37th CyWineFest, performing all her greatest hits live… Ela, Sou Hrostao Akoma Ena Klama, Eime Kala, Ego Ta Spao, Vres Ena Tropo, Matono, Poli Kala Pername and so many others…expect a fabulous show.
Peggy made her recording debut in 1995 with her self-titled album. To date, she has released fourteen studio albums. In March 2010, she was ranked the 24th top-certified female artist in the nation’s phonographic era, totalling nine platinum and two gold records.
Don’t miss her live this weekend!
And there’s a lot more to look forward to in the entertainment programme…
She’s supported Ed Sheeran at the Brit Awards, performed with UK rapper K-Koke alongside Yiannis Ploutarchos live on the CyWineFest stage, and now Elizabeth Chapman is back to perform her brand new single Efhome Na Pernas Kala.
Currently putting the final touches to her solo EP and preparing to release the first single Liar Liar, Kat Neocleous will be gracing our stage with her soulful tones, jazzy grooves, and raw-edged vocals
Eleni C has just completed the first leg of her European Tour and she’s extremely excited to be making her debut appearance at CyWineFest performing her new single One Last Time.
Also making his debut performance at our event is British-born Greek Cypriot vocalist Roger Grech, specialising in Greek and English classic songs from yesteryear.
Throughout his 15 year singing career, George Germanakis has collaborated with the likes of Stamatis Gonidis and Themis Adamantidis, and we are excited to welcome him onto our stage.

He sings, he smashes plates, he plays the bouzouki and he got a ‘yes’ from the Britain’s Got Talent judges…expect mayhem from Bambas Shaouna!
