While in a period of many good new releases, news of several concerts organized for this summer in Greece follow. I think it's been many years since we last heard about so many live concerts here! But, as pretty much all of us estimate, it is hard to believe that all of them can finally take place, since Greek public has some limits and of course the wallets have not been very thick over the past few months. Nevertheless, the organizers of all the concerts deserve many congratulations, for at least trying to bring so many names in our country.
The harmless songs for this week are as follows:
