Young and Connected… and Shake it!
November 21st, 2009January 28th, 2010
I would like to take this chance to wish you all a happy new year (even though January is almost over!)lol
I hope 2010 has started off well for each and every one of you. 2009 was full of mixed emotions for many people.Lets hope this year is a good one for all!!
A big THANK YOU
As most of LGRs loyal listeners will know I missed the whole of November to be by the bedside of my father who was in a critical state following surgery. A massive thank you to all who passed on their wishes , prayers and support. It means alot. Thankfully Mr P is on the road to recovery. Lets hope it continues!
LET IT SNOW
So January started with major disruptions due to blanket of snow we were graced with. You would think that the local authorities learnt from last year to prepare for such adverse weather by ordering and storing enough grit?. But we Greeks never let a bit of frozen water stop us doing what we want, we will do our souvles in any weather!!
Off the Pandora!
I managed to sit through what I would consider an amazing 3d experience. I eventually managed to see Avatar. (yes even Mikey Mike needs to queue up for certain things!sob) It was worth the wait. Having an interest in Biological research made the film even better and got my mind wondering if it could really happen. Like, for example, if the young cypriot male avatars will have tight skinny jeans and curly afro’s, and ride moped-like creatures until the early hours?,or if the older male cypriot avatars would “hire” blonde female Avatars from clubs and take to tree houses for some shenanigans while their wives slept at home??…I wonder… :-p
coming up…
As always LGR is here for you, our loyal listeners. We have a shed load of talent in our community and its our aim for you to be noticed.
Coming up over the next few months we will be interviewing the boys from the 4tune, who have produced a fantastic track performed by Mclean entitled My name.
For all you belly dance lovers I be interviewing Farah Nasri, who has supported me on a number of performances, and also a new talent called Samsara, who will be releasing a belly dance fitness DVD !!
Of course we will have exclusive tracks and gossip, so keep it locked!!
For all you facebook fans, join the exclusive group LGR: Young and Connected for more gossip!
take care for now….nas’te kala..je eyo kalitera!

September 7th, 2009
Firstly I want to say that it was great to be back on air again after my summer holiday. A big thank you for tuning in!
Cyprus 09!!
While I was over in cyprus, I had the pleasure of meeting up with a few celebs- namely Peter Andre (yes ladies- Mr 6-pack!) and of course my good friend sarbel. (see my photos!)
I met up Peter at Ammos bar in Larnaca and he was enthusiatic about coming down to LGR for a chat. We had a good old chin- wag for a while, then he was spotted and and the camera’s came out in force. At present, I am awaiting confirmation from his management regarding his availability…watch this space!
Sarbel’s CD single “Mou paei” is now available with the added bonus song “So Perfect” written and produced by the man himself. Definately one for your collection!!
Shakey shakey!
As most of you will know, I love my belly dance music! Every first Thursday of the month, I am proud to host the Urban Raqs belly dance showcase (see my weblinks). It’s a show case where you see different styles of the art and its a great night out. Will keep you updated! I had the organisers on the show a few months ago and they put alot of effort in promoting the art. Check out their link!
Farah’onics
Also on my links, I have the pleasure of introducing “Farah’onics” I will be interviewing the founder Farah Nasri on the show in the coming months. Farah is an outstanding performer and the company aims to offer outstanding enntertainment and courses to promote the art of belly dance. Check out the weblink for more information and watch out because Farah’onics will be huge!! I will keep you updated for their next event!
OUFFOUUUU!!!!
Now I haven’t moaned yet, but one thing that really winds me up is that early evening call after a busy day at work to ask if i would “like a new credit card?” , ” free mobile upgrade?” and the best one ” If I would like to change my electricity provider?”.
Seriously, if I wanted any of the above I WOULD BLOODY DO IT MYSELF!! :-) I feel better now!! lol
take care and remember to… sway with mike on tuesday night!

Summer in Cyprus…
August 28th, 2009Hey guys and gals
Having found time to adjust back to life back in good ol’ Blighty, I thought I would give you my 2 cents worth of my experiences in our mother land!
You want Large??
Now, for me being in cyprus is like home from home. I love the weather, the food( obviously!) and the general laid back lifestyle. However, this year I felt that Cyprus is in the process of losing its “Cypriot” identity. Did you notice the amount of non-cypriot people are employed in restaurants and bars? I have nothing against people migrating for work and a better life, most of our parents and grandparents took that route years ago. But they made an effort to learn the language of the country they migrated to!! How many times did I order something in Greek, then repeat it English, and they still got my order wrong!! Maybe the restaurants should have a picture book with tick boxes and make us tick the orders!!
How much??
I found that the prices of many drinks were close to being a rip off!! 4 euros for a frappe?? are you kidding me?? The conversion rate for us visiting from London meant everything was pricey. I’m sure that an evening out for a family would mean you have to remortgage your house first! Something needs to be done by the tourist board and government to try and attact us next year.
Exam results
I’m sure many of you are celebrating having gained great exam results..well done and good luck in the path that you choose!
have a great bank holiday weekend!

To kalokairi afto mazi sas….
August 14th, 2009Many of you are preparing yourselves for a well deserved summer holiday.
I will be flying over to Cyprus for a well earned break. Hopefully I will see many of you over there. Hopefully you will listening to the songs I play on my show while you are on the beach…my tips for the tunes of the summer have to be “Mou Paei” by my good friend Sarbel, along with Tamta and “Koita me” so if you have your stereos on Finikoudes beach, I want to hear them blearing out the speakers!
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a great summer and we will be back together shaking it in September on Young & Connected.
Thanks for the love and support
Mikey
The King of pop is dead…Long live the king!
August 14th, 2009I was as shocked as anyone to find out that the king of pop Michael Jackson passed away in what now seems suspicious circumstances. Controversy always followed Michael Jackson, but what we need to remember is that he had an abnormal lifestyle and upbringing to that of normal people. He was in no doubt under a lot of pressure from a very young age, and so didn’t have a normal childhood that was reflected in his latter years. However, his one outlet was performing, and that he did! Countless hits, breath- taking concerts and an inspiration to many artists in the industry. How many times have you shaken it to one of his song?
We should remember that this “thriller”, who didn’t care if you were “black or white” and didn’t “blame it on the boogie” will always be a legend. In respect to the legend, Long live the king of pop!
Cyprus Wine festival 2009
August 14th, 2009That time of year has arrived once again, when the smell of souvlakia fills the air around North London and the Cypriot population descends to Alexandra Palace for the Cyprus Wine Festival. Who could forget what a great time we had last year when Sarbel took the show by storm. This year Stelios Dionysiou will be on stage, along with a host of other artists from our community. We will be there again this year, broadcasting live and entertaining you throughout the day. Come say hello and remember to get your delicious loukamades from the aroma stand and bring them to me!! lol
Enjoy the show
Mikey
Peter and Katie….!
August 14th, 2009Having read all the articles that have been written about Peter and Katie, I feel disgusted by the actions of Katie Price.
While she is living it up on holiday with her pals, making a fool out of herself, Peter has sought time away from the limelight, trying to deal with a beak up in his relationship. We all have had to deal with break ups at some point in our lives. Some people deal with it in different ways, but when there are children involved, a less selfish stance needs to be taken. She has verbally attacked Peter in the press, now is that what a decent mother should do?. I hope Peter doesn’t succumb to the bait and retaliate, and he has our full support.
Let the partying begin!
August 14th, 2009Now that the exam period is over, many of you will be anxiously awaiting your results…I hope you all did really well, now sit back and enjoy your extended summer break and make the most of it…until that morning in mid-august when that envelope with those results comes!!
