Anna Vissi set for UK date in November

London Greek Radio reports:

The singer had visited Amsterdam (October 5), Brussels (October 7), where she performed Eurovision entrant 'Everything' in a rendition to her greatest hits to date.

The Cyprus diva surprised the audience by singing John Elton's 'Sorry seems to be the hardest word' - "a song I love singing from when I was a child - well actually not a child" , in a jibe to the crowd.

Anna had spoken of Greek communities abroad as an extension of "the other Greece" and wanted her tour to "seduce the non-Greeks with the Greek sound and make them feel Greek during the concert" .

The fans were whipped into a veritable frenzy from Anna's sheer excitement and charismatic fervour. Her concerts in Belgium and Netherlands saw people come from England, Germany, Greece and Cyprus - with at least half of those non-Greeks. Those performances were intended to honour the victims which followed Greece's wild fires.

Her next concert will be in Johannesburg (Emperors Palace, October 13), accompanying her will be newcomer Nikos Oikonomopoulos.
