12th November 2000:- Showaddywaddy are currently in Cyprus in the middle of a 4 week tour.
John Yiangou is an English Cypriot and is the manager of a restaurant bar called 'Chesters' in Limassol. Al, Danny, Rod, Dave, Romeo, Trevor and the crew go drinking in John's bar as they are performing across the road to where he works.
John says, "We have has such a great laugh since they arrived - they are a great bunch of lads. I've taken some photos of them here and it would be great if you could put them on your site for everyone to view. I talked with Rod and he thought it would be a great idea".
John also mentions that Dave likes his brandy sour, Romeo his red wine, Al his pint of Guinness, Rod and Danny their pints of the local beer 'Keo' and Trev his Red Bull.
Below are some pictures kindly e-mailed to me by John, of himself Tina and the lads:
All smiles: John and Tina with Rod, Romeo, Danny and Trev.

Well lads, it chucking it down back here in the UK, so don't forget your macs! And make sure you have a pint of Tetley's for me before you come back! Cheers John!

The following pictures of Danny and Dave were taken when they visited the British Forces Broadcasting Service in Akrotiri.
Danny has been hypnotised by the looks of it.
