Lefteris Moumtzis - Autumn News
Hello there
It's been a very long and busy summer, which didn't give much time to add news
and things on the website. I should, but I was still taking my time to learn my
way around this. I've been trying to make the different sections richer in a
sense, adding as much material and info as possible about each project that I'm
involved in.
Starting off with the solo performance in mid-July at Axiothea in Lefkosia, it
was one of the most enjoyable concerts ever for me. A lovely atmosphere was
created and the energy was bouncing back and forth. There are a couple
of videos uploaded from that gig. Also, you can subscribe at the brand new
Moumtzis – YouTube channel for videos from solo performances.
Fengaros Music Village – our first attempt as Louvana on organising a Music
Village in Cyprus – went fantastic! Five days, nine workshops, concerts, jams and a
lovely vibe was in the daily menu. J.Kriste, Master of Disguise performed a show on one
of the nights.

Fengaros Music Festival followed right after where I performed a set with Fuzz Bus and
also with The Low Spark, a band that has been around for quite some time but
with not much to show for as far as recordings go. But we are working on that
and we are hoping a single or an EP will come out by Xmas time. There's also though of a
Cyprus tour to promote it.

Shortly after Fengaros we played a great gig with J.Kriste, Master of Disguise at Xarkis Festival in Arsos
before I headed off to Ayios Lavrentios, Pilion, to the Greek Music Village where I conducted a workshop
with Fotis Siotas and Alkinoos Ioannides on songwriting / arranging / producing e.t.c. This was the
third year I was doing this and it still offers me such amazing experiences. It's great to work with
songwriters and younger people and sharing any knowledge I gathered over the years, jamming
and generally having a good time. It's rather tiring though!

At the moment I'm in the process of writing new material for J.Kriste and doing some
demos at home, while at the same time working on new recordings for Plain History,
The Low Spark (as mentioned before), Trio Tekke (!) (with drum offerings by the
great Dave De Rose) and also writing and working on demos for the new project with
Fotis Siotas.
Hope to see you soon at a show. The next one is on the 30th of October at Sousami Bar
in Lemesos and it's a solo show.
Thanks for reading through and stay tuned for more soon! All feedback is welcome.
Peace and Love
Lefteris
