Though I knew of him, I wouldn't have recognised the singer/songwriter he mentioned and I thought no more about it until Spiros Anemogiannis, owner of the bar we frequented for breakfast and late night Metaxxa, told us there was going to be a jam session in the bar that night. The man Geoff had spotted had a villa nearby and wanted to play. We were instructed, very seriously, that we were NOT to spread the word. We were thrilled and honoured, feeling that we'd been picked out as 'cool'.
Neil Finn on guitar, Spiros on accordion, plus a bazouki player.
We had a fabulous evening. Though he's the front man from Crowded House, the bar was far from crowded, and NewZealander, Neil Finn put on a great performance. And yes, he did play and sing, Weather with You.
It was early in the holiday when this happened, and we rather assumed it would go on like this. We had a wonderful time but Neil Finn - or any other passing sleb - failed to put in any further appearances. Ah well, you mustn't be greedy.
I'm definitely looking over-excited

Looks like you had a fabulous time, Gilli. Love Greece and we DROVE down there in the early 80's and camped enroute. Must have been mad :-)
