REBETIKA EVENING The weather is warming up and while we can’t travel we can at least try to imagine that we’ve booked a trip to Greece this summer. Philhellene will provide the tastes of Greece and Pascal Latra, Kat Stevens and Paddy Montgomery will provide the soundtrack to a balmy night, in a tavern, sipping a tsipoura, a Kretarakimeli or a retsina, listening to Rebetika.
