One of my favourite Turkish groups performing here next week

I think many of you would like listening to the music of MFÖ, the group's name being derived from the members' own names - Mazhar, Fuat and Özkan. They have been writing and performing as a group for nearly 30 years. Here's a recent live performance:

If you guys are anything like me, then even though you'd like to, you just can't get used to most types of Turkish musıc. If that is indeed the case, then don't worry - I'm sure you'll find MFÖ, with their western influences, very much to your taste.
Allow me to quote Zeynep Goral (from her web-site where she translates Turkish song lyrics into English) who writes of MFÖ :
"This band has a unique sound, and I personally love Mazhar's voice. Their songs range from unmercifully sarcastic, to goofy, to downright tragic. Plus, my music-elitist English-speaking boyfriend actually thinks they're good, which is saying a lot."

In any case, MFÖ are performing at Girne's amphi-theatre on Sunday, July 1st. Tickets cost 25TL. Hope to see you there
