Many artists take a break from the major clubs of Athens and Thessaloniki and go out to perform in the regional areas and islands.  So summer is an opportunity to maybe catch a favorite singer either close to your visiting town or island or while you’re being a tourist around the nation.

Here are a few of the artists that are touring around the country thanks to athinorama.gr

The singer made famous to our younger friends or newcomers with his song “Thalassa Mou Skoteini” from the movie Brazilero.  Of course Portokaloglou has been around a lot longer than that with his rock-folk group Fatme.

The 2007 Mad Video Music Awards are over for another year.

This year’s big winner was heart-throb and favorite with most of the females Mihalis Hatzigiannis.  Of course Hatzigiannis has a great following that are not just females that enjoy his songs.  Personally Ola I Tipota was a great song and deserved the recognition it received.  Hatzigiannis has also conistently delivered great pop songs in the past couple of years.

Here is a list of this year’s winers at the Mad Video Music Awards 2007
