Joanne spotted this in the local paper, at the last minute, so ... A full, if "mature" audience. Our e-tickets were "General Admission 2" rather than the earlier sold out "General Admission". But they let us in and we had seats at the back. And we had the question "what is a cajon" answered.

ProTip: They normally tell you to be wary of places that don't have prices on the menu ... But "are you here to dine, drink, or dance?" Drinks. (Bread + local Cheese for starters) Greek Salad (and a to go box for what we didn't finish) Chicken Gyros (and chips!) Complementary Melon Dessert And a pirate pussy? 20 Euro's cash (no receipt 😉😉) For the pair of us. 👌 https://maps.app.goo.gl/EGj3gHS1JaTyzZ1A7
