Insiders in the North Cypriot music scene don’t have to be told who is behind Carpe Diem. They more or less regularly play in different places, lately in the Twist Bar, a place I have not yet been to. They informed me that they will play again on February 11 at 21:30. They have a new profile and also refer to an article I wrote some years ago. My best wishes go with them.
Here is what they say:
